Let me try to explain things with an example, when Dr. Doom stage a coup on Wakanda, T'challa took him out at the cost of the country's precious metal. The Avengers and other heroes help rebuilt Wakanda in the aftermath. Avengers vs X-men sort of destroyed that because despite the anger of the people, they could not even tell good X-men from Cyclops X-men.
I mean the reason why the people tolerated Storm during the Marriage, was due to the will of their King.
I mean did we see ANYONE from the nation cry out for help during the fight, I would expect that despite his grudge with the Illuminati, that Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D would help out during the fight, even though none of the people of Wakanda TRUST outsiders, beside their former King T'CHala, and possible Sister Shuri.
Now do you see what I'm getting at. It's partly their distrust of outsiders, the King's favor for more worldly connections and trust with outsiders, and their prideful superiority to other countries that resulted in this devastation to their land.
That's what I'm saying. How are Tony, BP, Hulk, CB, Amadeus Cho, Beast, and Black Bolt even on the radar when Thanos, Terrax, two of the Cull Obsidian, Maximus, and Namor are wiping out nations and off galavanting and doing what they do.
Also, I wonder if their are other "rogue factions" of the Avengers that are helping the Illuminati.

The end. It really doesn't matter whether Wakanda begged or not, as much as you would have liked them to.
In a karmic kind of storytelling sense you can argue Hickman sort of set it up that way. Wakandan kinds didn't care about helping anyone else in the past, so when Wakanda needed help no one came to their aid.
Of course, in modern day times Wakanda has helped others and we know others have helped Wakanda. Super hero community at least. I think we all know that if they were able to other heroes would have tried to help. The Illuminati at least, if T'Challa is a member of that group. I assume they either couldn't help or failed to help.
A far as non-super hero world, against Thanos help likely wouldn't have mattered.
So Wakanda, Attilan, and Atlantis have been destroyed in the course of Hickman's run. Which nation is next?
