The citizens demanded the fortress give them gunpowder that was rumored to be there and the commander said no and fired upon them they then broke down the door and took over the Bastille, this was a majorpart of the revolution.

The march on Versailleswas a march completely of woman who were mad that they didn't have enough bread to feed their children and made Louie 16th move down to them so he could be more in touch with the people
