Explanation

During the Arab Spring, uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt led to the removal of their longtime leaders, and the transitions were largely peaceful compared with Libya. In Libya, the uprising escalated into a civil war that ended with Muammar Gaddafi’s overthrow. Therefore, the best comparison is that Egypt and Tunisia had mostly peaceful revolutions, while Libya experienced civil war.
