Or it has its origins in both. Especially as the Fête de la Fédération was the commemoration the year after the storming of the Bastille.
It might help were the 14th not commonly referred to as Bastille day and feature a military parade.
- seszett 11y ago14th July isn't referred to as Bastille day in France though, and the parade doesn't have much to do with the Revolution either, it's just common for countries to have a military parade on the national day.
- dudul 11y agoTry to call it Bastille Day in France, nobody would have a clue what you're talking about. The parade started in 1880, and was a political move after the defeat of 1870. Today it's a diplomatic event, foreign corps are invited, as well as heads of state.
