The simple past tense 'left' is appropriate here to describe a completed action in the past.

The passive voice is required here, and 'been solved' correctly completes the present perfect passive construction.

The passive voice 'were resumed' is correct because hostilities are the object being resumed by an implied agent.

The simple past tense 'occurred' is used because the sentence specifies a definite time in the past (1919).
