Answer 1

Answer:

• The Storming of the Bastille Prison was done on the morning of 14th July 1789 by the protestors who were marching against the autonomy of the French ruling classes, especially the monarch King Luios the sixteenth.

Explanation:

• In 1789 there was an increased dissatisfaction between the emerging middle class which consisted of artists, doctors, lawyers, merchants, etc. because of the increased taxation by the monarchy.

• While the upper class and members of clergy were exempted from all the taxes. This inequality infuriated the middle class and they rose in rebellion against this.

• The prison of Bastille was located in the city of Paris, it is in this prison that all the political prisoners were kept they were mostly the ones speaking and writing against the monarchs.

• The prison served as the symbol of the French Monarchy and huge amounts of money was spent on its maintenance while the country was suffering from economic crisis.

• That's why on the morning of 14th July 1789 the protestors stormed into the prison and set fire upon the prison, all the prisoners were set free.

• This marked as the beginning of the resistance against the monarchy in France which later lead to the French Revolution.
