Why is Bastille Day so important?

Question

I've tried to find these websites but all the information is very hard to understand. Can you please help?

Answer 1

Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers

Answer 2

the French commemorate the storming of the Bastille in 1789.

the Bastille was a prison for political adversaries to the French king and seen as a symbol of his power.  The Citizens stormed the building in search of weapons.  This act is what started the chain reaction of the French revolution.  Since the French consider the revolution as the birth of the modern French state the 14th of July (the day it took place) is since marked as their national holiday.

Answer 3

It was the last day the surrender monkeys of France actually grew a pair and did not surrender.

But after a few years of killing everyone who did not surrender they started to surrender again from WW1 to WW2 ....they even threw in collaboration, surrender and appeasement.

And since the  late 1800s france has used foreigners ( al la the foreign legion) to fight all its dirty fights so the soldiers of France did not get  their little dresses dirty or risk grazing a knee or spraining their little pinky fingers by fighting.

Bastille day is only important to  the French who are not important to any one...so who cares about Bastille day
