Abstract

This research aims to investigate the reasons behind the Arab Revolts in Middle Eastern nations. Additionally, it emphasizes the occurrences of the civil upheavals that resulted in the overthrow of several kings. This essay also makes predictions about the effects of these massive protests on the area and the states nearby. It also looks at how social networking sites were used throughout these events and how it contributed to the dissemination of information about their activities. As a result of these uprisings and civil unrest, long-time autocratic rulers in Tunis, Libya, and Egypt were overthrown, and certain socioeconomic rights were granted to those living in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Bahrain. Additionally, it looks at how Tunis was among the Arab Spring's victims and how it was able to reap the true benefits of the movement whilst other states were unable to do so
