In the mid 1800's, as the nations expanded westward, some Americans called for an expansion of democratic rights as well.
The French celebrate that day because it commemorates the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. It was a turning point of the French Revolution. Also, Fete de Federation was held on July 14,1790. It was a way to celebrate the constitutional monarchy in France.
