Although the Storming of the Bastille started the revolution and is very symbolic,especially to the French, of the long struggle to put down oppression. It was only the beginning of of a long hard road. After the fall of the Throne and its government, as always, a huge power vacuum developed and there were faction struggles to fill the void. Robespierres faction finally clawed its way to the top and so began the the Reign of Terror. Robespierre's idea of democracy left a lot to be desired and many were worse off.The struggle continued and after a long 10 years Robespierre was disposed and finally the First Republic took proper shape.
