The event that had historical implications contributing to the storming of the Bastille was **the Tennis Court Oath because they were arrested for their demands**.
While other responses refer to significant events in the broader context of the French Revolution, the Tennis Court Oath of June 1789 was directly linked to the escalation of tensions between the Third Estate (commoners) and the monarchy, as it represented the call for a new constitution and highlighted the frustrations of the people. The subsequent fear that the king would respond with force, particularly after reports of troops being sent to Paris, fueled the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, as it was seen as a stronghold of royal authority.
The other options, such as Louis XVI's attempted flight or the Reign of Terror, occurred later and were not direct immediate causes of the storming itself. Napoleon was not a factor in the initial events leading to the storming of the Bastille, as he rose to prominence later in the Revolution.
