Arab RevolutionThe Arab Spring, which is the name given to the Arab Revolution, started on December 18, 2010. The Arab Spring began, because citizens of the Middle East countries were sick of poverty and corruption within their government. It "is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations, protests, and wars."Causes"The Arab spring was caused by economic and political dissatisfaction over the rule of governments." The overall Revolution started because of Mohamed Bouazizi's dissatisfactions with the police of Tunisia, and the corruption.Recent HistoryTo date, four countries have overthrown their previous governments; including Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen. Other countries continue to protest and strive for governmental changes.Citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Spring#Background
Thesis: Many autocrats, which are rulers with absolute power, within the Arab nations were cruel, corrupt, and violated human rights, which led to the rebellion of citizens and the Arab Spring in late 2010; starting in Tunisia with the astonishing act of one man.
