The Arab Spring was a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in tbe Arab world that began in December 2010 in Tunisia with tbe Tunisian Revolution, and spread to other countries. When tbe wave of initial revolutions and protests faded by mid-2012, some started to refer to tbe succeeding and still ongoing large-scale conflicts in tbe Middle East and North Africa as tbe Arab Winter.
In several cases, tbe protesters/revolutionaries received outside help, such as from Western countries or other Muslim countries. Motives may have included a desire for regime changes towards regimes more liberal democratic, more Islamic, and/or less of a threat to Israel. See also tbe article on Color revolutions.
Effects include still ongoing devastating civil wars, such as tbe Syrian Civil War and in Libya; mass deaths and other atrocities; large scale persecutions of Christians; increased tensions between NATO and Russia; increased tensions between Shia and Sunni Muslims and Shia and Sunni countries; a large scale mass migration of individuals claiming to be refugees from tbe wars arriving in Europe; terrorists from tbe wars arriving in Europe; and Islamization and terrorism.
