sheldon this is all i could really write, all that needs to be done is the aftermath. sorry.
On July 11, 1789, with troops at Versailles, Severs, the Champ de Mars, and Saint-Denis, Louis XVI acting as a puppet of the conservative nobles of his privy council, banished Jacques Necker, who had been kinda and nice to the Third Estate,and reconstructed the ministry. When news of Necker's dissmisal hit Paris the next day, crowds began to form and the fear of troops shutting down the National Constituent Assembly was enraged. Camille Desmoulins, a known freemason from the lodge of the Nine Sisters, successfully rallied the crowd by " mounting a table, pistol in hand, exclaiming: 'Citizens, there is no time to lose; the dismissal of Necker is the knell of a Saint Bartholomew for patriots! This very night all the Swiss and German battalions will leave the Champ de Mars to massacre us all; one resource is left; to take arms!'" About half of the 25,000 regular troops concentrated around Paris and Versailles by early July were drawn from these foreign regiments. The Crowd then invaded the Hotel des Invalides to get muskets about 29,000 to 32,000 of them, with out gun powered and then they attacked the Bastille. Although the prison contained only seven inmates. They were mainly seeking gunpowder and more arms. Then later on they started to destroy the prison one brick at a time.
