Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
On 14 July 1789, there was a great upsurge in France. The National Assembly was busy drafting the constitution at Versailles, and the rest of France was in turmoil. The poor harvest due to severe winter, the rise in bread prices, and the exploitation of owners of workers agitated the population. The situation worsened when the bakers hoarded supplies, and the crowd stormed the shops after standing long hours in queues. And at the same time, the king ordered his troops to move into Paris. All this agitated the crowd, storming and destroying the Bastille on 14 July 1789.
The correct statement is that the Storming of the Bastille happened in Paris, France, on 14 July 1789.
