Background Image in Bootstrap

I have tried out the following code and for some reason my background image doesn't take up the whole page and it only covers the navigation bar. What should I change in the following code? Also how can I make the navigation bar span the whole width of the web page?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Example of Bootstrap 3 Static Navbar</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
    .bs-example{
        margin: 20px;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container" style="background-image:url('tp.jpg');">
<div class="bs-example">
    <nav id="myNavbar" class="navbar navbar-inverse">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">

                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">TNP</a>

</div>

Use the class container-fluid instead of container to make it use entire width.

And the container needs to be given a height. Currently it will simply grow as you will add more elements inside it.

Here's the FIDDLE.
