What happened at the French Revolution (Storming of the Bastille)
On 14 July 1789, crowds in Paris, angered by rising bread prices, royal taxation, and fears that King Louis XVI would suppress reform, attacked the Bastille, a fortress used as a state prison and symbol of royal authority. After a brief siege, the small garrison surrendered, and the building was later demolished. Though it held only seven prisoners at the time, the event became a powerful symbol of popular uprising against absolute monarchy. Coming after the Estates-General and the formation of the National Assembly, it accelerated the collapse of royal power, spread revolutionary ideas across France, and is now commemorated annually as Bastille Day.
