| On the morning of Juky 14, 1789, a Parisian mob of about 8,000 men and women stromed bastille, a royal armory and state prison. |
|
 | Im glad we Parisians were finally brave enough to do something about the governments harsh policies! | |
|

| The assault began around one oclock in the afternoon and went on until Marquis de Lunay surrendered, overwhelmed by the number of attackers. |
|
| Now Louis XVI can no longer enforce his will. I'd say we've saved the National Assembly. | |
|
| Yes, Now that the Royal authority has collapsed, he has no one to trust! | |

|
| The fall of Bastille was just another step in the French Revolution, it may not have been a democratic decision, but it began a new political age. |
|
| Now we can focus on things like loyalty to the nation rather than the monarch. | |
|
| Yes, the decision to attack Bastille will help Europe in the long run. | |
