The Arab Spring was initiated by the Tunisian Revolution in December 2010, when protests erupted against government corruption and economic issues. The self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor, symbolized widespread frustration with oppressive regimes and sparked mass protests across Tunisia. This movement quickly inspired similar uprisings in countries like Egypt, Libya, and Syria, leading to demands for democratic reforms and social justice. While the Arab Spring achieved varying degrees of success in different countries, it marked a significant moment of political awakening in the Arab world, emphasizing the desire for change and accountability.
