looked at answers and of all I like yours best. And furthermore, I think it is the most correct translation of exponer.

Hola,

Yo diría 'reveal' - para mí recoge mejor el sentido de las tensiones que ya existían. Exposed es una palabra menos común y parece más calco del original.

You could also use "became apparent" or "manifested themselves", depending on the tone of the text.
