After the document was given to King Louis XVI to approve, he denied the approval leaving the National Assembly to be more furious than ever. On July 14, 1789, more than 800 Parisians surrounded the Bastille to let them in. The commander refused to do so and commanded the guards to fire at the people. Violence begins. 

Many Parisians were killed by the gunshots. However, they were able to get into the Bastille and kill the commander and several guards. Prisoners were also freed. From this day on, this sparked the French Revolution. 

Violence was also used in the march to Versaille. Women from Paris marched all the way to the Palace of Versaille, King Louis's home. They demanded the king and queen to move to Paris. The couple refused. The women used the ultimate move, VIOLENCE. They busted the palace and killed the guards. Then, the king and queen finally agreed to move down to Paris. 

After the king and queen moved to Paris, they wanted to flee the country. In June 1791, the couple tried to escape to another nation where protection for them will be offered. It didn't go according to plan, they got arrested in the town of Varennes. The couple was sent back to Paris to face trial. 

Back in Paris, King Louis was sentenced to the guillotine because of treason. On January 21, 1793, King Louis XVI got executed. 

Marie Antoinette, King Louis's wife, met the same fate.
