Because it’s true. So many possibilities but only one true path. The world has to bend to the needs of the future worlds to come. We cannot understand what is negotiable and what is inevitable until all things come to pass. We learn through tears, OP. I’ve shed more than my fair share, and so has mankind.

It's inevitable in retrospect. Once you analyze all the factors, you realize that it couln't have happened any other way.

In this case you would want to say "what causes this". In english, when you present a subject, you address it by saying "this".
"that" implies the subject is somewhere else, maybe originating in another conversation.

The fall of the roman empire was unprecedented and unimaginable to those living at the time, yet it happened. Even in the midst of its collapse people in most of the WRE only realized something had fundamentally changed centuries later and continued to believe they were still living in the Empire because there was so much institutional and cultural continuity with the late roman empire and the early post-roman states.
