translate English to French: As the full resumption of business activities would not necessarily have taken place immediately upon cessation of military operations, there may have been a period of time during which those events would have had a continuing effect on the business of the claimant.
Vu que les activités commerciales n'ont pas forcément repris dans leur totalité dès la cessation des opérations militaires, les affaires du requérant peuvent avoir continué de se ressentir de ces événements pendant quelque temps.
