THE REAL STORY

The 14th of July of 1789, a crowd of people, called the mob, attacked the Bastille.

The Bastille was a prison of the king who kept about 10 people, and not in bad conditions.
The mob attacked because bread prices were going up, more than what they could afford and because no one knew why the king was bringing lots of soldiers to Paris, so they were afraid.

First, the mob went to Les Invalides and took weapons. Then, the mob went to the Bastille for gunpowder. The mob didn’t go to the Bastille to free the prisoners, in fact, they just freed 7. The idea of this was to protect everyone in Paris from the troops of soldiers.
The mob didn’t expect to attack the Bastille, but it happened because some went inside to ask for gunpowder, the mob got impatient and the Storming of the Bastille began…
The mob started firing and defending themselves, the soldiers didn’t stop them while the governor tried to avoid the fight and trouble. The mob responded by murdering him, cutting off his head.
