The 2011 Bahraini uprising was a series of anti-government protests in Bahrain led by the country's Shia-majority opposition, joined by some Sunni participants, that began on 14 February 2011. Inspired by the wider Arab Spring unrest in Tunisia and Egypt, the protests escalated into daily clashes after the Bahraini government suppressed the movement with support from the Gulf Cooperation Council's Peninsula Shield Force. The official uprising period ran into mid-March 2011, though sporadic demonstrations continued for years afterward.
