Why is Bastille Day Celebrated??

Question

C'mon French people answer my humble question!!

Hey Dave R i don't like web searches they are unreliable most of the time!!

Answer 1

I'll answer it. The French celebrate Bastille Day because the are ignorant of their own history. This is one more incident where history has been rewritten.

The conspirators who brought on the French Revolution were the original Bolsheviks. They conducted a reign of terror, similar to Stalin's purges of the 30's. Today, these criminals are considered heros in France.

The leaders of the mob, in particular, the Duc D'Orleans paid for many of the revolutionaries. This just goes to illustrate that Communist style revolutions (and this certainly applies to the French Revolution) are imposed from the top, not from the common people.

The French Revolution attacked (and murdered) the king, as well as the Church. So anti-Christian were the revolutionaries, that they changed the calender. They created a ten day week. Three weeks made one month. They even changed the year date. The first year of the Revolution was l'an un (year one). This is comparable to politically correct twits who show their contempt for Christianity by using CE and BCE, rather than BC and AD.

The revolutionaries erected a statue of the Goddess of Reason in the church in Paris. They murdered thousands of Frenchmen, just to maintain the state of terror.

Why on Earth, would anyone want to celebrate Bastille Day?

Answer 2

This event was the attack of the Bastille Prison on July 14, 1789, by the people of Paris. The Storming of the Bastille marked the start of the French Revolution, the end of the monarchy and the beginning of the Republic of France.
You could compare it to July 4th in the U.S. (Independence Day)

Answer 3

14 july 14 July is the French national trip this is widely known on July 14th of each and every 12 months. In France, that's formally referred to as l. a. Fête Nationale (The national party) and regularly le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de l. a. Fédération, held on the 1st anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 july 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fort-penal complex became seen as a logo of the insurrection of the famous u . s . a ., and of the reconciliation of all the French interior the constitutional monarchy which preceded the 1st Republic, in the process the French Revolution. Festivities are held on the morning of 14 july, on the Champs-Élysées highway in Paris in front of the President of the Republic

Answer 4

Bastille Day is the French equivalent of our Independence Day. It's the symbolic start of the French revolution.

A simple web search would have revealed that to you.

Answer 5

Answer 6

It celebrates the anniversary of the day the Bastille castle was stormed. The reason it is important is because the French reformed their gov't. It's the equivalent of the American 4th of July (Independence Day).

Answer 7

Batille day is similar to our Independence Day. It marks the day the French decided to rebel against the unfair taxes opposed on them, and eventually make Napolean Bonaparte their new leader. Ironically, we inspired them to do their revolution, due to the fact ours ended a couple years before theirs began. Bastille day is basically a day of national pride for the French, in short.
