Answer:
On the morning of 14th July 1789, the city
of Paris was in a state of alarm. The king ordered his troops to move into the
city. Rumours spread that he would soon order the army to open fire upon the
citizens. Some 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the town hall and
decided to form a people's militia. A group of several hundred people marched
towards the eastern part of the city and stormed the fortress-prison, the Bastille.
In the armed fight, the commander of Bastille was killed and prisoners
released. Since the Bastille stood for the despotic power of the king, it led
people towards the success of French Revolution.
