14 july;Happy Bastille Day! (10)
Carinas: Resignation Bastille was the starting time for the French Revolution , when on 14 july 1789 was conquered by revolutionary.A lot reckless than 40.000people entered the fort.
French Revolution is the event that marked French history and the transition to modern times .
French Revolution completed the great revolutions of the modern age range, being preceded by the English Revolution and the American Revolution.
French Revolution remains the most popular model of insurrection until the Russian Revolution in 1917.
I was always happy to learn something and I think that is good for everyone .
It is interesting to learn and know the history of World geography is fascinating also.
Today young people are not interested in something and many say they can not used to anything;it is not important to know the history of other countries can only history of your country ,but these young people do not even know the history of their countries.
For these young people are important just Hollywood gossip,MTV news or how to be cool like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus;is deplorable to see so many young people careless.
I am not frenchwoman ,but guys let is celebrate Bastille with croissant,cheese,omellette ,cordon bleu ,beans with duck and of course wine.
Happy Bastille Day !

Bastille Day is the French national holiday which is celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is formally called La Fête Nationale (National Celebration) and commonly le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution. Festivities are held on the morning of 14 July, on the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic.
Happy day to the French people!

The storming of the Bastille
On 5 May 1789, Louis XVI convened the Estates-General to hear their grievances. The deputies of the Third Estate representing the common people (the two others were the Catholic Church and nobility) decided to break away and form a National Assembly. On 20 June the deputies of the Third Estate took the Tennis Court Oath, swearing not to separate until a constitution had been established. They were gradually joined by delegates of the other estates; Louis started to recognize their validity on 27 June. The assembly re-named itself the National Constituent Assembly on 9 July, and began to function as a legislature and to draft a constitution.
In the wake of the 11 July dismissal of Jacques Necker, the people of Paris, fearful that they and their representatives would be attacked by the royal military, and seeking to gain ammunition and gunpowder for the general populace, stormed the Bastille, a fortress-prison in Paris which had often held people jailed on the basis of lettres de cachet, arbitrary royal indictments that could not be appealed. Besides holding a large cache of ammunition and gunpowder, the Bastille had been known for holding political prisoners whose writings had displeased the royal government, and was thus a symbol of the absolutism of the monarchy. As it happened, at the time of the siege in July 1789 there were only seven inmates, none of great political significance.
When the crowd—eventually reinforced by mutinous gardes françaises—proved a fair match for the fort's defenders, Governor de Launay, the commander of the Bastille, capitulated and opened the gates to avoid a mutual massacre. However, possibly because of a misunderstanding, fighting resumed. Ninety-eight attackers and just one defender died in the actual fighting, but in the aftermath, de Launay and seven other defenders were killed, as was the 'prévôt des marchands' (roughly, mayor) Jacques de Flesselles.
The storming of the Bastille was more important as a rallying point and symbolic act of rebellion than a practical act of defiance.
Shortly after the storming of the Bastille, on 4 August feudalism was abolished and on 26 August, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen proclaimed.
