The “Arab Spring” all started when a young Tunisian fruit seller
set himself on fire in protest of a government official
confiscating his apples and slapping his face. The aftermath of
that one personal protest grew to become the Middle East movement
known as the Arab Spring―a wave of disparate events that included
protests, revolutions, hopeful reform movements, and bloody civil
wars.
