While called the "Arab Spring," the wave of revolutions and uprising that swept through Northern Africa and the Middle East actually began in the final days of 2010. As a result of the protests, 2011 saw the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in February and the overthrowing of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in August.
