The most likely cause of the change from a large island to many smaller islands is a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruptions can lead to the fragmentation of land due to explosive activity, resulting in the creation of smaller islands from the larger landmass. Tsunamis and mudslides typically result in flooding or erosion of the existing land but wouldn't typically create new smaller islands. Wind erosion is a slower process and would not lead to immediate dramatic changes like those described.
