The most accurate response is:

because of the process of ending colonialism and the Cold War.

After World War II, many Southeast Asian nations sought independence from colonial rule, which led to various struggles and tensions as colonial powers ceding control. Additionally, the Cold War contributed to the heightened tensions as superpowers like the United States and the Soviet Union competed for influence in the region, supporting different factions and governments.
