It was a simultaneous effect that occurred throughout the Middle East beginning in early January of 2011. Of course Tunisia was the initiating country. The country that began it all. They were the first ones to actually stand up against their corrupt government; and for that I tip my hat. And it's not like they weren't successful, no, they were able to kick their president out. And that is what threw everyone off. The western world was in a state of awe, while the Middle East was in a state of happiness; even though most of the happy people weren't Tunisian...
Egypt came in second with the whole uprising thing. However the Egyptian revolution got pretty nasty in the beginning. And I remember the day when the army stepped out onto the street, so many people said it was like deja vu again; with reference to the 1952 Egyptian revolution. However this one was much more intense, due to the fact that the army was attacking the citizens. And every Egyptian thought they weren't going to be successful like the Tunisians because they were fighting up against an army... However this fear quickly disappeared when the Egyptians received much support from neighboring Muslim countries and the Egyptians living abroad. And in the end, Egyptians were able to dismantle the government. This threw off the entire world and that's because many people knew of the strength of the Egyptian government. Strength and wealth...
The Egyptian revolution led to the amazing Libyan revolution. Gaddafi needed to be kicked out. I mean, a man who has been dictating the country for 40 years is entitled to step down, right? Well at least that's what the Libyans thought. And they implemented a vivid manifestation of their plan. However what was supposed to be another Middle Eastern revolution turned into a civil war... What? Yes, Libya was the only country in the Middle East involved in the uprisings to enter a severe civil war. The Libyans versus the army, and Gaddafi's thousands of children. And after a severe civil war that spanned out over several months one of Gaddafi's children was killed as well as...Gaddafi!! So as far as fulfilling goals, the Libyans took that crown. I'll tell you why. All of the countries involved in the uprisings hated their rules to the point where they (the people) wanted to personally slaughter them. However, in most countries, that goal was impossible to reach, so what is the next best thing? To remove the rulers. Now, Libya had that same goal (to kill the ruler) and they were able to fulfill it; and again for that I must tip my hat.
