During Egypt's 18-day revolt that toppled long-serving President Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11, at least 846 Egyptians died. In Tunisia – which sparked the region's upheavals – an estimated 219 people were killed before President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali stepped down in January.
Syria's bloodshed also stands out because of its relative small population: about 22 million people compared with 80 million in Egypt. Tunisia has about 10.5 million people.
