Description:

The revolutionaries had made demands from the king but were afraid he was preparing the army to attack. They decided they needed to arm themselves and the bastille was a good place to start. It was a prison that was a symbol of the king to the revolutionaries. They demanded that they hand over the prison but they refused so they then started attacking and eventually won when they soliders joined their side.
