What occured in France on July 14 1789 that set off the French revolution?

On July 14th, 1789, the Parisians aided by members of the National guard stormed the fortress and prison of La Bastille, in the hope to seize gunpowder and ammunitions for cannons and guns they had already taken from the arsenal of the Invalids. After a stand-off, a volley of bullets was fired from the fortress; that infuriated the mob who stormed the fortress, killed its governor and set the (seven) prisoners free. That event did not really 'set off' the French revolution as trouble was already brewing, but the day marks the beginning of the historical period of the French revolution.

What is the population growth for France?

Percentage-wise, the population growth rate is approximately 0.5% per year, slightly less than half the world average of about 1.15% It is, however, quite high when compared to other comparable nations. One thing to note in regards to French growth is that France has a low immigration rate for such a developed country, and that most of the population groth comes from "natural increase" (as opposed to from immigration). France's fertility rate (the average amount of children produced per woman) is higher than any developed country other than the United States. Its rate of about 1.98 is a bit below the replacement rate of about 2.1, but much higher than most other EU countries, which average around 1.5. This means that, if fertility rate and immigration stay at the same rate, France should have steady if fairly low population growth for the immediate future. This is in opposition to many (especially southern and eastern) European countries which are either shrinking (most of eastern Europe) or would be if not for high rates of immigration (Italy and Greece).
