The event with historical implications that contributed to the storming of the Bastille is:

The Tennis Court Oath because they were arrested for their demands.

The Tennis Court Oath, taken on June 20, 1789, was a pivotal moment in the early stages of the French Revolution where members of the Third Estate vowed not to disband until a new constitution was established. This act of defiance was met with growing tensions and crackdowns by King Louis XVI, which increased the revolutionary fervor among the people. The storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, symbolized the uprising against the monarchy and represented a key event in the struggle for liberty and justice in France.

The other events mentioned (Louis XVI trying to escape, the Reign of Terror, and the rise of Napoleon) occurred later and were consequential to the Revolution but did not directly contribute to the storming of the Bastille itself.
