gave rise to

Led to creating

Gave rise to means caused or produced, especially when describing how one thing leads to another over time.

The phrase suggests a causal relationship that unfolds gradually rather than instantly: The invention of the printing press gave rise to widespread literacy.

It's more formal than "led to" and implies something substantial emerging from conditions or events: Economic instability gave rise to political extremism.
