Fact Book #39 What is the meaning of Arab Spring, from where it started?

The Arab Spring was a series of pro-democracy uprisings that enveloped several largely Muslim countries, including Tunisia, Morocco, Syria, Libya, Egypt, and Bahrain. The events in these nations generally began in the spring of 2011, which led to the name.

It was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s. It began in response to corruption and economic stagnation.
