The Arab Spring was a series of protests and uprisings that began in late 2010 across several countries in the Arab world. Citizens demanded political reform, social justice, and an end to corruption. The movement started in Tunisia and quickly spread to countries like Egypt, Libya, and Syria. These protests were fueled by widespread dissatisfaction with authoritarian regimes and economic hardships. While some countries experienced significant changes in leadership, others faced violent crackdowns or civil wars. The Arab Spring highlighted the desire for democracy and human rights in the region, but its outcomes varied greatly from one nation to another.
