Largest Political Gatherings That Attracted Millions

8. 2011: The Arab Spring:

The Arab Spring is a revolutionary demonstrations, protests, riots, and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 18 December 2010. On January 25, 2011, disgusted with 30 years of corruption under the regime of Hosni Mubarak, the citizens of Egypt  took to the streets protesting. Thousands of protesters turned up on a ‘day of rage’ when they marched toward the headquarters of the ruling National Democratic party shouting “Down with Mubarak.” The protest finally settled in and walked down onto Cairo’s main square, Tahrir Square. Within hours of the first protest, the police whom the Egyptian masses were ostensibly supposed to be celebrating, turned on them with tear gas and water cannons trying to disperse the crowds. The crowd remained unmoved, and within two weeks it was the government that fell instead.
