Bastille Day
Bastille
Day is the common name given in English-speaking countries to the national day
of France, which is celebrated on the 14th of July each year. In French, it is
formally called la Fête nationale; The National Celebration) and commonly and
legally le 14 Juillet; the 14th of July.
Jacques
Necker, the Finance Minister, who was sympathetic to the Third Estate, was
dismissed on 11 July. The people of Paris then stormed the Bastille, fearful
that they and their representatives would be attacked by the royal army or by
foreign regiments of mercenaries in the king's service and seeking to gain
ammunition and gunpowder for the general populace. The Bastille was a
fortress-prison in Paris which had often held people jailed on the basis of
lettres de cachet (literally "signet letters"), arbitrary royal
indictments that could not be appealed and did not indicate the reason for the
imprisonment. The Bastille held a large cache of ammunition and gunpowder and
was also known for holding political prisoners whose writings had displeased
the royal government and was thus a symbol of the absolutism of the monarchy.
As it happened, at the time of the attack in July 1789 there were only seven
inmates, none of great political significance.
The
crowd was eventually reinforced by mutinous Gardes Françaises ("French
Guards"), whose usual role was to protect public buildings. They proved a
fair match for the fort's defenders, and Governor de Launay, the commander of
the Bastille, capitulated and opened the gates to avoid a mutual massacre.
However, possibly because of a misunderstanding, fighting resumed. According to
the official documents, about 200 attackers and just one defender died in the
initial fighting, but in the aftermath, de Launay and seven other defenders
were killed, as was Jacques de Flesselles, the prévôt des marchands
("provost of the merchants"), the elected head of the city's guilds,
who under the feudal monarchy also had the competences of a present-day mayor. 
Shortly after
the storming of the Bastille, late in the evening of 4 August, after a very
stormy session of the Assemblée Constituante, feudalism was abolished. On 26
August, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (Déclaration
des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen) was proclaimed (Homme with an uppercase h
meaning “human”, while homme with a lowercase h means “man”).
The
French National Day is the anniversary of Storming of the Bastille on 14 July
1789, a turning point of the French Revolution, as well as the Fête de la
Fédération which celebrated the unity of the French people on 14 July 1790.
Celebrations are held throughout France. The oldest and largest regular
military parade in Europe is held on the morning of 14 July, on the
Champs-Élysées in Paris in front of the President of the Republic, along with
other French officials and foreign guests.

World Chocolate Day
World
Chocolate Day, referred to, in some instances, as International Chocolate Day,
is an annual observance that occurs globally on 7 July. References to World
Chocolate Day being observed on 7 July have been recorded as early as 2009.
Celebration of the day includes the consumption of chocolate. Some references
indicate that this day celebrates the introduction of chocolate to Europe in
1550.
Many
other chocolate day celebrations exist, such as National Chocolate Day in the
United States on 28 October. Confusingly, the U.S. National Confectioners
Association lists 13 September as International Chocolate Day.
Other
more specific chocolate-themed days are celebrated throughout the world,
including Bittersweet Chocolate Day on 10 January, Milk Chocolate Day on 28
July, White Chocolate Day on 22 September, and Chocolate Covered Anything Day
on 16 December.
Do you
want to know more about chocolate? Than read this post I made in 2014.
