Detailed explanation-1: -On 14 July 1789, a state prison on the east side of Paris, known as the Bastille, was attacked by an angry and aggressive mob. The prison had become a symbol of the monarchy’s dictatorial rule, and the event became one of the defining moments in the Revolution that followed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even as the drama unfolded, I couldn’t help recalling another moment when a crowd attacked an iconic public building: July 14, 1789, in Paris, France, when a crowd stormed the Bastille. That event marked the beginning of the French Revolution, a subject about which I have written and taught for more than four decades.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Bastille Prison was stormed on 14th of July 1789. It was attacked because they wanted its gunpowder and weapons. The commander of the prison was killed and the seven prisoners inside were all released. The fortress was completely demolished by people.
