Who is Storming of the Bastille?

The Storming of the Bastille was when people in France took over a strong prison to show they were angry and ready for change.

Imagine you’re playing a game with your friends at school, and one kid has all the best toys. That kid is like a king who doesn’t share, he takes from everyone else to keep his toys. The other kids get really mad and decide to take back the toys by storming the kid’s room, which is like a prison called the Bastille.

The people of France were tired of being treated unfairly by their king. They felt like they had no say in how things were run, it was like someone else made all the rules without asking them. So one day, they decided to act. A big group of people marched toward the Bastille, which was a strong fortress that held some of the most important prisoners.

They shouted and fought until they got inside. This showed everyone that the people were powerful and ready to fight for better lives, like when you finally win a game after being really upset about losing!
