On the moming of 14 July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. The king had
commanded 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 peoples' militia. They broke into a number of government
buildings in search of arms. Finally, a group of several hundred people marched towards the
eastem part of the city and stormed the fortress-prison, the Bastille, where they hoped to find
hoarded ammunition. In the armed fight that followed, the commander of the Bastille was
killed and the prisoners released - though there were only seven of them. Yet the Bastille
was hated by all because it stood for the despotic power of the king. The fortress was
demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the markets to all those who wished to
keep a souvenir of its destruction. The days that followed saw more rioting both in Paris and
the countryside. Most people were protesting against the high price of bread. Much later,
when historians looked back upon this time, they saw it as the beginning of a chain of events
that ultimately led to the execution of the king in France, though most people at the time did
not anticipate this outcome.
