Why do the bc years count down and who started it?

as the time line was splitted into two halves known as: B.C. (before christ) and A.D. (anno Domini) there was a confusion lead by some wrong calculation as to when was Jesus the Christ born. A.D. 1 started about a week later the Christ was born, and that was about 2000 years ago. there is no certain date to tell which was the actuall year when the Christ was born. To avoid this confusion, astronomers considered a point in the time line as a zero "0", referred to as the time when the christ was born. and started counting as A.D. 1, A.D. 2..as the years followed. and before that they counted as -1 B.C., -2 B.C... as we've studied in maths in number lines chapter. this counting down is done just to make calculations easier for the astronomers and others uses. there is no zero "0" year as such.

Did the UN vote for Israel as a nation?

The question as posed is rather convoluted. I want to say "YES" to the "essence" of the question, i.e. the UN did take a vote integral to Israel becoming a country, but I have to say "NO" since the UN did not actually vote Israel into existence.

The UN voted (affirmatively) on the legitimacy of the Jews of Palestine declaring independence as a state distinct from the more numerous Arabs of Palestine. This vote legitimized the Israeli Declaration of Independence, but did not cause it.

Most people incorrectly believe when the UN passed UNGA Resolution 181 (II) on November 29, 1947, that the UN "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of there being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.

The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

What began the Arab Spring?

The Arab Spring is the outcome of a number of repressive policies against Arab citizens from their own governments. This anger was fomenting in the Arab populaces (at different rates in different countries) pretty much since the Independence Movements secured the European Colonizers' retreat. The reason the Arab Spring did not happen earlier is that most Arabs did not believe that they had the power to overthrow their governments. The ouster of Zine Abidine ben Ali in Tunisia changed that view and encouraged Arabs in different states to revolt against their leadership.

Why does the Arabian peninsula have small amounts of farming?

The Arabian Peninsula has limited farming due to its arid climate, which is characterized by high temperatures and low precipitation. This aridity makes it difficult to cultivate crops without extensive irrigation, and much of the land is better suited for pastoralism or nomadic lifestyles. Additionally, the rocky and sandy terrain further hinders large-scale agriculture.
