What happened during the storming of the Bastille? Outline the main events that occured that day.?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,........ Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities English novelist (1812 - 1870) that's all you need to know!

There is a time-line of events on the referenced site that should be quite helpful in answering your question.

Our own life is the instrument with which we experiment with the truth.

The Bastile was a largely empty royal prison by 1789. In the past it had been used to house political prisoners, sometimes very brutally and for long periods of time, but it recent years it chiefly had been used to house nobles who got into trouble (usually reckless debt) at the request of their own families. There were only around half-a-dozen "prisoners" (none of the especially political) in July 1789.

During the revolutionary tumult in Paris in the spring of 1789, an additional garrison and supplies of muskets and gunpowder had been brought to the Bastile in case they were needed to maintain order. When radical revolutionaries in Paris heard rumors (only partly accurate) that the king was ordering troops to advance on the city and restore his authority, large crowds rushed to the Bastile in order to seize the arsenal there. They were organized and led by a club of active revolutionaries, but no one really had firm control.

The leaders demanded the governor of the prison surrender and turn over the arsenal to the people. The governor, of course, could not legally do so under his royal commission. The crowds began to force their way in, and the governor's garrison began to defend themselves by opening fire.

Though negotiations had ended, many in the crowd who were trying to force in the entrance believed negotiations were still ongoing and were outraged to come under attack, falsely believing this was an ambush. The enraged crowds eventually stormed inside and seized the arsenal. Most of the royal garrison was killed, and the royal governor was brutally executed.

The handful of prisoners inside were freed, and a couple of them became minor celebrities in Revolutionary France for a few years. King Louis XVI was distressed to learn about the events at the Bastile, especially the killing of its garrison and the murder of its governor, but he was by that time powerless to do anything about it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
