because of
I 'm trying to figure out how to say "because of," as in:
I never knew this could come to pass because of a person who is a total stranger
At this point am just using the word por
No sabía nunca que esto podia pasar por una persona que no conozco

The most common use of "por" (when it doesn't refer to time or space) is to give reasons, like when you thank someone, and then you give the reason why you thanked this person (gracias por). Many people feel tempted to use more complicated alternatives, but this is the one we use the most, along its counterpart "porque" (a fusion of por + que), used when your reason requires a full clause with a finite verb.

Por is just fine here.
