The Arab Spring was a loosely related group of protests that ultimately resulted in regime changes in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Not all of the movements, however, could be deemed successful—at least if the end goal was increased democracy and cultural freedom. In fact, for many countries enveloped by the revolts of the Arab Spring, the period since has been hallmarked by increased instability and oppression. Given the significant impact of the Arab Spring throughout northern Africa and the Middle East, it’s easy to forget the series of large-scale political and social movements arguably began with a single act of defiance.
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 when Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest the arbitrary seizing of his vegetable stand by police over failure to obtain a permit. Bouazizi’s sacrificial act served as a catalyst for the so-called Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia. The street protests that ensued in Tunis, the country’s capital, eventually prompted authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to abdicate his position and flee to Saudi Arabia. He had ruled the country with an iron fist for more than 20 years.

The United States adopted quite couple of Jefferson’s ideas.
One being his ideas on the Declaration of Independence; he felt it should be referenced and changed with every generation to keep up with the ever-changing needs of newer generations. This impacts our present day, and is why we have the Census every 10 years.
The second being The Ward System. The Ward System was created by Jefferson, and provided free school, the scholarship system, police, militia, and more. These are still implemented present day.
This is about the extent of my Jefferson history knowledge, hopefully this is enough to help you out!! (I am taking a Political Science class and learned this from it. All real information!)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you forgot to specify the name of the empires including in your question. Who they were?
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the case of the way China was affected and entered into a crisis in his final years as an empire.
Emperor Qianlong had rejected England's petition to lose its heavy restrictions on trade in 1793. However, European powers reacted and put pressure on the Chinese Empire and by 1912, the Chinese Empire had collapsed.
The reasons that accelerated this collapse were that China could not increase and modernize its industry. At the same time, the population dramatically increased to 430 million people by 1853. This factor put so much pressure on the Empire that suffered from the creation of jobs, generating poverty never before seen.
The once-successful Chinese bureaucracy could not maintain the growth rhythm of the increase of population and became very inefficient. The centralized power of the Emperor lost its presence in the far-away provinces and peasants and poor people started rebellions.
