Two historic days, one battle call. American Independence Day and Bastille Day bring missions, vehicle discounts, Twitch Drops, and limited-time Premium Shop offers built around a shared spirit of freedom.
American Independence Day and Bastille Day come from different histories, but both stand for defiance, unity, and the fight for a future worth claiming.
The United in Freedom event connects both sides of the Atlantic through a shared spirit of liberty, vigilance, and resolve.
July 4 is not the day Congress voted for independence. The vote happened on July 2, 1776. July 4 became famous because that was when Congress adopted the Declaration text.
The Bastille had only seven prisoners when it fell. The crowd did not storm a packed prison: the fortress mattered because it symbolized royal power and held weapons and gunpowder.
The number 13 was everywhere from the start. Early celebrations used 13-gun salutes and 13 fireworks rockets to represent the 13 colonies.
The attackers were mainly after gunpowder, not prisoners. Armed Parisians had already seized weapons from Les Invalides and needed supplies, making the Bastille a strategic target.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration was adopted. James Monroe also died on July 4, five years later.
Bastille Day honors two July 14 events: the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération in 1790, a huge celebration of national unity.
After Pearl Harbor, the signed Declaration was moved to the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox for protection. It stayed there until 1944.
France made July 14 an official national holiday only in 1880. The date could represent both revolution and unity, almost a century after the Bastille fell.
In 1778, George Washington marked July 4 by giving his soldiers a double ration of rum and ordering an artillery salute, or feu de joie.
The Bastille was defended by about 114 soldiers: 82 Invalides and 32 Swiss troops. The attackers are usually estimated at 688–1,000 insurgents, joined by 61 French Guards and several cannons.
In addition to the bonuses, complete daily objectives, collect Tokens, and advance through the United in Freedom reward line. With up to 48 Tokens available and only 16 needed for the full progression, there's plenty of room to play your way and claim valuable rewards.
