The self-immolation of Tunisian road-side fruit seller Mohamed Bouazizi escalated into
Arab Spring
On 17 December 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, set himself on fire after police confiscated his goods and he was humiliated by officials. He died on 4 January 2011. His act became a symbol of anger over unemployment, corruption and police abuse.
Protests spread across Tunisia and forced President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to flee on 14 January 2011. The uprising then spread to Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and other states, toppling rulers in Egypt, Libya and Yemen and sparking civil war in Syria. This regional wave is known as the Arab Spring, and Bouazizi's self-immolation is regarded as its spark.
The fall of the Tunisian government was a real result, but it was only the first stage of that wider wave, so it is narrower than what the incident escalated into. No Israel–Palestine war followed from it, and the United States never invaded Tunisia.
Arab Spring option is correct.
