Pre-war expansion of communism, Cold War tension, Soviet and U.S. involvement.

These factors directly address why each war began (containment of communism and superpower rivalry). The other choices focus on outcomes (casualties, costs, postwar systems) or irrelevant traits (language), so they wouldn't support a thesis about causes.
