Question

Describe the state of affairs in the city of Paris on 14 July 1789

Answer 1

Answer:

The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of July 14, 1789.

The medieval armory, fortress, and political prison known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris. The prison contained only seven inmates at the time of its storming but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy’s abuse of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
