July 14 is Bastille Day in France. It was first instituted as a national holiday in 1880, in the time of the Third Republic, and marks the occasion of the storming of the Bastille during the French revolution in 1789 — an event that symbolized the end of absolute monarchy and of a society revolving around class and privilege. Bastille Day also commemorates the Fête de la Fédération, a national festival held in 1790 to celebrate the unity of the nation and the drafting of the constitution the previous year.
