It was March 23, 2600 when the third and final uprising so far had happened. Sadly outnumbered one-thousand to one, nine hundred of the bravest attacked the most known government building,"Principem Omnis", Latin for,"ruler of all". The buildings name was given to it after the government was overtook by a group of gruesome, and viscous men known as,"the Blunts". These men singlehandedly took over and killed every government officials one by one in,"Blunts land", or what use to be called,"The United States". Principem Omnis is the great building where the Blunts leader,"Gertrude Rezeplem", or as we must call him,"Gertrude the all Mighty", lives and commands the Blunts. The Blunts have been our leaders ever since the summer of 2590. Their laws are greatly hated and do not treat anyone fairly, this is why the first and most successful uprising happened on December 30, 2592. We took back a small piece of the Blunts land which was taken back almost immediately and everyone that was helping in the uprising was executed, but that was the closest we have been to the taste of freedom since the government was overthrown. The third uprising struck Principem Omnis and was doing great damage until a shower of bombs rained down on every single one of them. Every man and women that was there fighting for us killed in the blink of an eye, everyone dead including the man that was so bravely leading them, my father.

Bastille Day commemorates the freedom of the French citizens' rights, and the beginning of the French Revolution on July 14, 1789. It was a couple of days after the creation of the National Constituent Assembly by the Third Estate (the common people and lower clergy) and the dismissal and banishment of Jacques Necker, King Louis XIV's financial minister who supported the Third Estate. Outraged by Necker's mistreatment, as well as the pent up feelings of tax raises and food shortages, the citizens rebelled. They gathered stocked up on raided ammunition, food, and wine, as well as started mobs against the king; even the king's troops did not stop them. On July 14 itself, the citizens stormed into the Hôtel des Invalides and took over 20,000 muskets, but there was no gunpowder. This urged them towards the fortress; at the same time, negotiations for Bastille's surrender were underway. The crowd, however, eventually grew impatient to the extent of gathering a small party to climb over the walls and lower the drawbridge from the inside. Eventually, Bastille was captured and dismantled by the citizens a few days later, and the National Assembly gained more supporters including a significant portion of defected royal guards and the French Guards. King Louis XIV saw this as a revolution rather than a revolt, and headed back to Paris and Hôtel de Ville on the 17th of July and takes a tricolour cockade (the new flag of red, white and blue) presented to him, what follows are cries of "Long live the king. Long live the nation." In place of Bastille is a square commemorating the event known as Place de la Bastille, which is still present to this day.
