The Fête de la Fédération of the 14 july 1790 was a huge feast and official event to celebrate the uprising of the short-lived constitutional monarchy in France and what people of the time considered to be the happy conclusion of the French Revolution. To this day, it is commemorated every year by what is improperly known in English as "Bastille Day"(Fête du 14 juillet in French). 1, record 1, English, - F%C3%AAte%20de%20la%20F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration

La fête de la Fédération eut lieu le 14 juillet 1790, pendant la Révolution française, un an jour pour jour après la prise de la Bastille. C'est en 1880 que le 14 juillet devint officiellement jour de la fête nationale française, sur proposition du député Benjamin Raspail. Cette date fut retenue non seulement en commémoration du 14 juillet 1789 (prise de la Bastille) mais aussi en mémoire de la fête de la fédération. La première date ayant été une journée jugée sanglante, c'est la seconde qui emporta les suffrages sans pour autant diminuer l'importance de la première. 1, record 1, French, - f%C3%AAte%20de%20la%20F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration
