On this day in 1789, French residents raged against the Bastille, a royal prison fortress and political symbol that marked the first victory and began the French Revolution.

Governed by King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, France was in a state of disarray and agitation through the 1780s. In the wake of acquiring a tremendous obligation from his predecessor, Louis XVI kept on spending extravagantly regardless of the risk of economic disaster.

Albeit just seven detainees were detained in the fortress, a mob moved toward the Bastille on the morning of July 14th.

A few of years after the fact in 1793, the French First Republic was born.
