After World War II, many countries sought independence due to a combination of factors, including the weakening of colonial powers and a surge in nationalist movements. The war exposed the vulnerabilities of European empires, prompting colonies to demand self-determination. Additionally, the establishment of the United Nations and its emphasis on human rights and self-governance supported independence movements. As a result, numerous nations, particularly in Africa and Asia, gained independence in the subsequent decades.

So all of a sudden the next thing everybody knew all these countries were declaring war on each other and nobody really knew that there was all these secret agreements. It was a major issue so the real cause really was opportunism and assassination and secret pacts
