This level's booklet page
I. July
On the twenty-sixth the ordinances appeared in the official paper. By the twenty-seventh the printers were in the street. By the twenty-eighth there were barricades from the Hôtel de Ville to the Bastille.
If the Revolution won
On the twenty-ninth the Louvre fell, its Swiss defenders fled down the Rue de Rivoli, and the old king left for exile with his family.
Otherwise
The regiments held. On the thirtieth the barricades came down one by one, and the ordinances stood, for a while.
If the Revolution chose “Proclaim a republic”
At the Hôtel de Ville the republicans proclaimed a republic. Nobody outside Paris was asked.
If the Revolution chose “Accept a citizen king”
The deputies brought out a cousin of the king, wrapped him in a tricolour flag on the balcony of the Hôtel de Ville, and the crowd cheered. The republicans went home with nothing.
Otherwise
The old king kept his crown and the ordinances were enforced. The printers who had started it were the first to be tried.
