The storming of the Bastille and the consequent treatment of political prisoners held within (some were released, others were executed) marked a new phase in the French Revolution. The American fourth of July similarly marks a new phase in the the American revolution, but for very different reasons, as being the date entered on a decleration of independence by 13 of Britain's colonies in North America.
