The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the centre of Paris.

Why was Louis XVI executed?

The execution of Louis XVI was the ultimate repudiation of the old system of government. It was also the clearest act of defiance to the idea of "Divine Right of Kings" by which European monarchs had laid claim to their right to rule. By putting to death the head of state at the hands of commoners, the Revolutionary government declared the right of people to make decisions for themselves. On a more practical level, it also ensure that those other European nations would unite against France. This forced all French to rally around the Revolutionary government to defend the nation against those forces. And that in turn opened up the path for the rise of Napoleon.

what was the significance of the Storming of the Bastille?
