EGYPT’S ROLE IN THE ARAB SPRING The world has been watching a very important political event called the “Arab Spring” since 18th of December, 2010. The “Arab Spring” stands for the revolutionary changes that happened in the Arab Nations, which caused the fall of many governments including Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya; and protests in countries such as Algeria, Jordan, Oman, Iraq and Bahrain. It can be said that those revolts have a similar reason of occurance: those countries all lack democracy. Between all of those countries that have political problems; such as the governments being overthrown, large protests with a high death rate and civil wars; Egypt is different in one way. Egypt is a Muslim/Christian country that is situated in North-East Africa and has the population of 76 million people.
There have been many protests in the history of the United States. Many of which have helped solve problems and have been very successful. But on the other hand there are those protests that have ended badly. An example of a protest that did not end as planed is the protests on the campus of Kent state college in 1970. The end result of those protests was gunfire by police leaving four dead and nine others wounded.
Amy Eason HIS 131-D8 February 14, 2013 Boston Massacre Analysis On March 5, 1770 an event occurred that would be in history books for centuries to come. With the political and social peace of colonial Boston under tremendous strain the people began to rise up against Parliament with anger, exasperation and embarrassment as their principal emotions. What is today known as the Boston Massacre is the result of the rising tension among the people of Boston due to the enforcement of the Townshend Acts in 1767 (Boston). Through the analysis of two very different accounts of the Boston Massacre: one being “An Anonymous Account of the Boston Massacre” from a 1849 reprint of A Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre in Boston and the other being “Captain Preston’s Account of the Boston Massacre (1770) it is apparent that each is biased on the opinion of the writer, but both indicate the harsh political and social environment of colonial Boston. Looking first at the anonymous account, it is very descriptive of the events both leading up to the massacre and the massacre itself.
Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as the attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Over 1,000 synagogues were burned and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged. The
The Cry of Dolores marked the beginning of the long and bloody Mexican War of Independence, which would not conclude until 1821. Millions were killed or displaced in this long conflict. During his trial, Hidalgo seemed to understand what he had wrought and recanted his actions, perhaps foreseeing the bloodbath to come. The Cry of Dolores was the spark that ignited the tinderbox of long pent-up resentment of the Spanish in Mexico. Taxes had been raised to pay for fiascoes like the disastrous (for Spain) 1805 Battle of Trafalgar and in 1808 Napoleon invaded Spain, deposed the king and placed his brother Joseph Bonaparte on the throne.
This created a riot in the immediate area, ultimately bringing about a more civil demonstration of over 200 attendees several days later protesting the raids. The protest was met by squadrons of armed policemen. It was from this event that the publication The Advocate and organization Metropolitan Community Church led by Pastor Troy Perry was

The question of whether the American Revolution was revolutionary or not is debated frequently. In the ten documents I was given at least seven of them were able to show my opinion. My opinion is that I believe that the American Revolution was revolutionary because of political, economic, and social contributions. The image of La Destruction De La Statue Royal A Nouvelle Yorck portrays shows the sons of liberty tearing down the statue of King George 3rd of England. This shows how the American Revolution was revolutionary because the people are revolting for their freedom, they are fighting.
What provoked the Hungarian Uprising of 1956? The Hungarian Uprising began on 23rd October 1956 when tens of thousands of protesters gathered at the statue of General Bem, who was a national hero of Poland and Hungary. By the end of the day, the numbers had multiplied to approximately 200,000 though the demonstrations were peaceful. Despite the peaceful start, the demonstrators were fired at by the State Security Police and violence erupted across Budapest. The following three weeks constituted one of the most tumultuous periods in Hungarian history.
The 2011–2012 Syrian uprising is an ongoing internal conflict in Syria, a part of the wider Arab Spring. Public demonstrations first took place on 26 January 2011, but were only a sporadic occurrence until mass protests erupted inDaraa on 15 March. The situation quickly developed into a full-scale nationwide uprising, with protesters demanding the resignation of PresidentBashar al-Assad and the overthrow of the government. The situation in Syria is part of the Arab Spring, a wave of social upheaval throughout the Arab Worlddemanding greater political freedom and an end to autocracy. Inspired by the successful revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, Syrian protesters have employed the use of tactics such as marches, hunger strikes, rioting, and vandalism, in a sustained campaign of civil resistance aimed at ending nearly five decades ofBa’athist rule.
