The Arab Spring was a coordinated support of anti-government groups, supposedly to bring Democracy to the Middle-East. The official reading was that the people of Arab states were sick, and tired of Dictators, the unofficial reading is that with the Saudi's becoming hostile with their Oil-Policy, gaining US/UK power over other oil-fields would help the West control the Oil-market more. How it started, secret-agencies supplied arms, and support to rebels, to help overthrow Dictators, which worked in a lot of Nations(in Syria most of those rebels turned out to be ISIS).
Then things went horribly wrong, one of the first Democracy's, Egypt, chose the Muslim Brotherhood as biggest party, who then right away removed all power from the Parliament, and made the President the sole-ruler. In Lybia(Ghadaffi) the rebels turned out not have oil-rights, so we switched aliances back to the former Ghadaffi supporters. And then there's Syria, officially supposed to be a favor to Israel, and Turkey, but those 'rebels' turned out to be ISIS, and at first Assad was beating ISIS, so ISIS moved to Northern-Iraq(where most muslims follow the same doctrine), and it wasn't until the EU, and US implemented sanctions on Syria that ISIS started winning over there.
Basically it was supposed to be an expansion of power for the West, but it spiraled completely out of control into a hornets-nest of war, and death. The irony is now of course, that the West could help restore order, but doesn't want to, it's why the aerial campaign was launched, which is already analyzed to be not-enough, it'll just bring more death, more war without anybody gaining control.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
