French Revolution Timeline: STORMING of the BASTILLE (JULY 14, 1789) - Associated Content from Yahoo! on Astini News
Posted on Monday, October 31, 2011 by astini
The Storming of the Bastille was another revolt by France during the French Revolution. Bastille day was originally celebrated as a national holiday, signifying approval of popular participation in politics; it began a step towards freedom for the third estate. On July 14, 1789 a mob attacked the Bastille. The Bastille was a state prison symbolic for oppressive order of the ancient regime, due to the fact that it showed absolute monarchy. The Bastille was no ordinary prison; it held special prisoners who were sent without a trial. In thought that Bastille would have both prisoners living in subhuman standards as well as a storehouse of firearms, French revolutionist gathered at the fortress of Bastille. Despite the mobs preconceived thoughts of the Bastille being a cruel place, it was found to only have 7 prisoners, and no weapons (Newman 170-190). Although one can see that this reformation had actually achieved nothing, other than freeing 7 prisoners, this revolt was a small symbol of the French revolution. It showed tat people would begin to fight back against the government and oppose monarch if basic fundamental human rights were infringed.
