During the French Revolution, the mob stormed the Bastille on July 14, 1789, hoping to find weapons and gunpowder to arm themselves against the oppressive monarchy. Instead of a substantial cache of arms, they found only a small number of stored weapons and a few prisoners. The event symbolized the uprising against tyranny and marked a turning point in the revolution, igniting widespread revolutionary fervor across France. The fall of the Bastille is now celebrated as a national holiday in France, known as Bastille Day.
