Recently, I started delving into the world of front end development. After mastering the basics of HTML5 and CSS3, I ventured into Bootstrap 4. My current project involves creating a replica of the Facebook login page. To achieve a full-width design, I utilized container-fluid, followed by nesting container, row, and column within it. For consistency in background color, I applied a custom class to container-fluid. Additionally, I used align-items-end on the row for vertical alignment. Strangely, this approach didn't work initially despite my efforts to troubleshoot. Surprisingly, after making some adjustments, the layout started functioning as intended. Below are the codes for both scenarios. I would appreciate any help in understanding what went wrong initially and why the modification made it work successfully now. Thank you for your assistance.

After numerous attempts, adding the bg-fakebook class to the row element finally resolved the issue.
<div class="container-fluid bg-fakebook">
<div class="container">
<div class="row align-items-end bg-fakebook">
<div class="col-md-6">
<h3 class="fakebook-weight">fakebook</h3>
