To be more exact, the conquest of the Bastille was a big step for the revolutionaires but still all they got from it was gunpower and weaponry.
The end of the monarchy was when Louis XVI wanted to run for... I think it was Austria. He was cought and was decapitated by his own Guilliotine... Well, M. Guilliotin designed the machine but it was Louis XVI who proposed the triangular blade.
