Question

Why is Bastille Day a symbol of French national pride?

It marks the day when King Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette were executed.
It shows how effective peaceful demonstrations can be.
It shows that the three Estates of 18th century France were able to agree.
It celebrates a day when the French masses rose up against oppression.

Answer 1

Answer: D is correct, It celebrates a day when the French masses rose up against oppression.

That is the day the king had to take the people seriously, and finally demanded power and better representation. On July 14, 1789, an angry Parisian mob stormed the Bastille, a fortress prison, and liberated a handful of prisoners. Though this event had little tangible benefit, it was a powerful symbol of the people's power to free themselves from the power of the hated king. Bastille Day, as it is known today, marks the beginning of the French Revolution and is today celebrated as the French national holiday, much like Americans celebrate the Fourth of July.
