In each case naturally the intention for the first action existed, or it would not have been carried out. It is doubtful in the extreme that the initiators of those actions foresaw the full consequences of those actions, especially as the full scale of the consequences did not become apparent for hundreds of years.

So in all three cases the answer must be that the consequences were not intentional.
