TO THE FRENCH, HAPPY BASTILLE DAY!
"Every aristocrat to the lamp-post! If we don't hang them, we break them; if we don't break them, we burn them"; with this war cry, the brave French people took their destiny in their hands and reclaimed back their country from the French Monarchy! It was on this day, July 14th in 1789 that the French won their real freedom. A year after, on the anniversary of the revolution which uprooted the French Monarchy, storming the Bastille fortress-prison and releasing the inmates, the Bastille Day was declared as a French national holiday on July 14, 1790!
Icheoku says, congratulations to the French on this anniversary of a brave mass-action by your forebears which freed you from despotic aristocratic rule. Happy Bastille Day!
