Answers
Hey! Here is your answer,
The Bastille was hated by all because it stood as a symbol for the despotic power of the king. During this time the people of France were starving because of a bad winters harvest and rumours had it that the king commanded the troops to move into the city and will order them to open fire at the citizens so some 7,000 men and women gathered in the town hall and decided to form a people's militia. They broke into groups to search in government buildings for weapons. Finnaly, a group of several hundred people stormed the Fortress-prison the Bastille and in the clash that followed the commander of the Bastille was killed and prisoners released. Later stone fragments of the Bastille were sold as souveniers of its destruction.
