Explanation:
The Arab Spring was a wave of pro-democracy uprisings and demonstrations that took place in several countries across the Arab world, primarily in North Africa and the Middle East, starting in late 2010. The spark for the Arab Spring was ignited in Tunisia in December 2010 when a street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, set himself on fire in protest against harassment and mistreatment by the authorities. This incident triggered widespread protests against unemployment, corruption, and authoritarian rule in Tunisia.
