Why do you celebrate bonfire night?
November the 5th is celebrated primarily in England to mark the death of Guido (Guy) Fawkes, who, with his conspirators (led by Robert Catesby) attempted to blow up the King of England in the Houses of Parliament beneath the House of Lords in 1605. Also known as the "Gun powder plot" had it been successful it would have Killed King James the First and the aristocracy at the time which would have thrown the country into turmoil. It was the hope of the conspirators that they could have put Princess Elizabeth his daughter on the Throne. Guido (Guy) Fawkes and his conspiators were discovered and the plot uncovered. They were then tortured and sentanced to be hung drawn and quartered. Guy Fawkes managed to avoid this fate by jumping from a scaffold and breaking his neck. Usually in England, (Though other parts of the British Union enjoy it), the Gunpowder plot is celebrated by creating and burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes on a Bonfire (Leading to the name "Bonfire night") and watching Firework displays.
