quote: The Bastille is THE symbol for revolution. On July, the 14th 1789 in France quite a lot of people succesfully occupied the Bastille...mostly workers and farmers. Don't ask me for further details...maybe I'll know them in two weeks
Basically the storming of the Bastille marked the beginning of the successful violent uprisings against King Louis XVI and its symbolically the beginning of the French Revolution which see's the kings head eventually chopped off, three different governments, several constitutions, and the reign of Napoleon.
