Answer 2

Storming of Bastille became the main cause of French revolution because of the following reasons :

• While the national assembly was busy at Versailles drafting the constitution, the rest of the France faced turmoil. Due to bad harvest, price of bread increased.
• This situation worsened when the bakers started hoarding supplies.
• Women who stood in queues at the Bakery stormed the shops. At the same time the king had ordered troops to move into Paris. As a result on 14th July the angry crowd stormed and destroyed Bastille. It was hated by all as it stood for the despotic power of the king.
