     Due dei Paesi in cui si verificarono le violenze maggiori furono la Siria e il Bahrein, dove c'erano gravi divisioni settarie e alcune minoranze privilegiate governavano a dispetto di maggioranze ampie e traboccanti di risentimento.

     Two of the countries that saw the worst violence were Syria and Bahrain, where sectarian divisions ran high and privileged minorities governed large and resentful majorities.
