Parisian revolutionary, together with rebellious storm troops that dismantled the Bastille

Parisian revolutionary, together with rebellious storm troops that dismantled the Bastille, was the leading cause of french distraction.The Royal Fortress, along with the prison, symbolized the tranny, which was to be caused by Bourbon monarchs. The dramatic action marked the start of the French revolution. This terror could lead to overthrowing King Louis and the political turmoil, and many people were executed, including the king’ s wife, who was called Marie-Antoinette, were executed.

In 1789, French was among the first nations that were experiencing revolution, the military governor of Bastille called Bernard was afraid that his Fortress was one of the target in the revolutionaries and by that he asked for reinforcements. The same year July 21, the royal authorities moved 250 barrels which contained gunpowder to Bastille then Launay trained his men to be massive Fortress and he also raised two drawbridges (Ruback, 30).

On 14^th July people armed with swords, muskets and makeshift weapons around Bastille. Launay’s men tried and held angered people back but Parisians continued to gather at the Bastille this red the launay to raise a white flag as a sign of surrendering over Fortress. Launay together with his people were taken to the custody, Bastille’s gunpowder as well as cannons were abandoned and even the seven prisoners were set free (Toohey, 1790). On the arrival to the place where Launay was to be arrested which was Ville Hotel people pulled him from others and killed him. The capturing of Bastille symbolized ancient regime and this provided revolution for the French people and this caused irresistible momentum .In 1992 there was abolishment of monarchy , Louis together with Marie-Antoinette were taken to guillotine since they had committed treason in 1793 .
