Solution

The Bastille was a medieval fortress in Paris used as a state prison. It was widely perceived as a symbol of royal tyranny. On 14 July 1789, an angry and aggressive mob of less than a thousand people stormed the Bastille to demand its closure. They freed the seven prisoners who were held in the Bastille at that time. This event is seen as the beginning of the French Revolution.
