On the morning of 14 July 1789, the city of Paris was in a state of alarm. The king had commanded troops to move
into the city. Rumours spread that he would soon order the army to open fire upon the citizens. Some 7,000 men and
women gathered in front of the town hall and decided to form a peoplesí militia. They broke into a number of
government buildings in search of arms. Finally, a group of several hundred people marched towards the eastern
part of the city and stormed the fortress-prison, the Bastille, where they hoped to find hoarded ammunition. In the
armed fight that followed, the commander of the Bastille was killed and the prisoners released ñ though there were
only seven of them. Yet the Bastille was hated by all, because it stood for the despotic power of the king. The fortress
was demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the markets to all those who wished to keep a souvenir of its
destruction. The days that followed saw more rioting both in Paris and the countryside. Most people were protesting
against the high price of bread. Much later, when historians looked back upon this time, they saw it as the beginning
of a chain of events that ultimately led to the execution of the king in France, though most people at the time did not
anticipate this outcome.
