I need help. How did Bastille Day begin? (3 details)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers.

Bastille Day refers to the anniversary day of the storming of the Bastille jail, not to the storming itself. Bastille Day was first created in July 14, 1790, exactly one year after the storming of the Bastille, but it was meant to be a celebration of the union (federation) of the French people against monarchy, and was called "Fête de la fédération".
