Why is Bastille significant to the french revolution?
As a specific event, the storming of the Bastille is only a raid on a supposed arms and weapons depot, by a mixed mob of Parisians and National Guards. On a symbolic level, the seven prisoners it hosted were set free and the Bastille was turned into a symbol of royal abuse of justice (even though no prisoner was detained there for political reasons, the simple signature of the king was enough to justify the emprisonments). That event is also for the French historians, the official beginning of the French revolution.
Which groups in the French Revolution benefited from the French Revolution?
The third estate, made up of peasants, artisans and workers, which was 97% of the population, were those who benefited from the French Revolution. In particular the Bourgeoisie, a section of the third estate who were relatively wealthy, such as bankers, lawyers, doctors and other similar professions, benefited the most from the French Revolution because the Revolution put them in power. The first and the second estates, meaning the clergy and nobility, were the groups that lost the most from the French Revolution. They would not recover their pre-Revolution position until the Congress of Vienna of 1815 reinstated the French monarchy.
