About this pattern
Explanation
This pattern is used when a circumstance or someone causes another person to take a course of action that they would not have chosen voluntarily. The nuance is that the action is a consequence of external pressure or necessity, not a voluntary decision. The subject of the sentence is the entity that causes the compelled action, and the object marked with を is the action or outcome that is forced upon someone.
