Guy Fawkes Night, also known
As Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire
Night and Firework Night, is an annual
Commemoration observed
On 5 November, primarily in Great Britain.
Its history begins with the events of
5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes,
a member of the Gunpowder
Plot, was arrested while guarding
Explosives the plotters had placed
Beneath the House of Lords.
Celebrating the fact that
King James I had survived
The attempt on his life, people
Lit bonfires around London, and
Months later the introduction of
The Observance of 5th November
Act enforced an annual public day
Of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.
