Arab Spring

The Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests and uprisings that spread across the Arab world in the early 2010s, beginning in Tunisia in response to corruption and economic stagnation. The protests led to the downfall of several regimes, including those in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Yemen, and resulted in sustained street demonstrations in several other countries. However, the wave of initial revolutions and protests faded by mid-2012 as authorities responded with violence, leading to multiple large-scale conflicts, including the Syrian civil war, the rise of ISIL, and the Egyptian Crisis. The Arab Spring ultimately resulted in a power struggle between the consolidation of power by religious elites and the growing support for democracy in many Muslim-majority states, with ongoing conflicts and uprisings continuing to this day.learn more on wikipedia
