How should I translate からである in this sentence?


日本の輸出をストップさせるために、円高が進行していたからである。

I know that normally it explains reason, but if I translate it with that
meaning, the sentence doesn't make sense. And I've found this usage of からである,
in other sentence too...

しかも、地価をのぞけば、物価も安定していたからである (for example)

Thank you very much!!




> 「[日本]{にほん}の[輸出]{ゆしゅつ}をストップさせるために、[円高]{えんだか}が[進行]{しんこう}していた **からである** 。」

I _think_ I know why you do not think this sentence makes sense. (The sentence
makes perfect sense, I assure you.)

「～～からである」 indeed expresses the reason for a result (or the cause of an
effect), but you are looking for the description of the result/effect within
that one sentence, are you not? If so, the result/effect is _**not**_
mentioned within the sentence. _**It should be mentioned in the preceding
sentences**_.

> " _ **That is because**_ the yen was accelerating its appreciation in order
> to stop Japanese export business."

The same thing could be said about your second example sentence. The
result/effect is not mentioned in it.

> 「しかも、[地価]{ちか}をのぞけば、[物価]{ぶっか}も[安定]{あんてい}していたからである。」
>
> " _ **That is because**_ the prices, except for land prices, had become
> stabilized as well."




> 「[日本]{にほん}の[輸出]{ゆしゅつ}をストップさせるために、[円高]{えんだか}が[進行]{しんこう}していた **からである** 。」
