Daraa was the cradle of the Syrian revolution

The term Cradle of the Revolution refers to a historically significant location (typically a city or town or an area within one) where a political revolution began. Such cities often bear outsized importance in the national and/or historical narrative of a country, and may be home to a number of national museums and monuments.

The term derives from infant cradles, referring to a revolution being gradually "nursed" from a young age (e.g. small uprising) until it becomes mature (e.g. full-scale revolt and/or civil war).
