answer:

1. bernard-rené de launay, the governor of the bastille, watched in dread as a large and growing mob of angry revolutionists surrounded the fortress on july 14. upon receiving a demand to surrender, he invited revolutionary delegates inside to negotiate.   lacking any direct orders from louis xvi, he purportedly received them warmly and promised not to open fire. yet as the talks dragged on, the people outside grew restless—some may have thought their delegates had been imprisoned.   eventually, a group of men climbed over an outer wall and lowered a drawbridge to the bastille’s courtyard, allowing the crowd to swarm inside. when men began attempting to lower a second drawbridge, de launay broke his pledge and ordered his soldiers to shoot. nearly 100 attackers died in the onslaught and dozens of others were wounded, whereas the royalists lost only one soldier.   the tide turned later that afternoon, however, when a detachment of mutinous french guards showed up. permanently stationed in paris, the french guards were known to be sympathetic to the revolutionaries. when they began blasting away with cannons at the bastille, de launay, who lacked adequate provisions for a long-term siege, waved the white flag of surrender.   taken prisoner, he was marched to city hall, where the bloodthirsty crowd separated him from his escort and murdered him before cutting off his head, displaying it on a pike and parading it around the city. a few other royalist soldiers were also butchered, foreshadowing the terrifying bloodshed that would play a large role during and after the french revolution.   in the aftermath of the storming of the bastille, the prison fortress was systematically dismantled until almost nothing remained of it. a de facto prisoner from october 1789 onward, louis xvi was sent to the guillotine a few years later—marie antoinette’s beheading followed shortly thereafter. much like the fourth of july in america, bastille day—known in france as la fête nationale or le 14 juillet (14 july)—is a public holiday in france, celebrated by nationwide festivities including fireworks, parades and parties.   attendees will see france’s tricolor flag, hear the french motto liberté, egalité, fraternité (“liberty, equality and fraternity”) and break into singing la marseillaise—all popular symbols of france that had their origins in the heady days of the french revolution.   in one of the world’s oldest annual military parades, french troops have marched each year since bastille day of 1880 along the champs-elysées in paris before french government officials and world leaders.

2. the french revolution completely changed the social and political structure of france. it put an end to the french monarchy, feudalism, and took political power from the catholic church. although the revolution ended with the rise of napoleon, the ideas and reforms did not die.
