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.
Who was the cellar underneath houses of parliament owned by at the time of the gunpowder plot?

Why did Robert Cecil help Guy Fawkes with the gunpowder plot?
There are numerous theories by different contributors detailed below: Robert Cecil framed Guy Fawkes (some people believe). All gunpowder was controlled by the government and kept in the tower of London so they must have got permission off the king to buy it, that was very hard. also the cellar was owned by the government and became available with enough time to prepare. Cecil must have planned this. The plot was set up by the government so they had a reason to punish some catholics. It took 8 days of torture after he was captured for Fawkes to reveal the other plotters names, but the plotters were captured at Holbeach house only TWO days after Fawkes was captured. Cecil was part of the plot as he rented the cellar for the plotters, was in charge of the paper work for supplies of gun powder, and the records of that year went missing. He knew where the plotters were taking refuge and captured them early. The only one who wasn't captured that day was Francis Tresham. But he was taken in later, but died suddenly in his cellar at the tower of London before he was questioned. Who had access to the tower of London? Cecil did. Who was the framer? Cecil. Who definitely didn't want to get found out by the king that he was part of a plot that planned to blow his Highness up? Cecil. He obviously killed Tresham before the guy could spill the beans. Cecil did the same to his friend he rented the cellar off, Thomas Whynniard. Whynniard died suddenly on the morning the plot was supposed to take place. Another fact is that When Fawkes was down in the cellar, two guards came down and asked for his name, Fawkes said his name was John Johnson, and wasn't arrested... who cares what his name is! the guards didn't know they were looking for a dude named Guy Fawkes, didn't they spot the 36 barrels of gunpowder behind him? Or were they just sent down there to make sure every thing was set up?
What is a bonfire got to do with the gunpowder plot?
The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 aimed to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords to restore a Catholic monarchy in England. The plot was foiled, and the conspirators were executed, leading to a public celebration on November 5th, known as Guy Fawkes Night. Bonfires were lit to commemorate the failure of the plot and the survival of the king, and over time, this tradition evolved into the modern celebration, where effigies of Guy Fawkes are burned on bonfires. Thus, bonfires became a symbol of the plot's failure and a way to remember the historical event.
Why do you have fireworks during Guy Fawkes?
Because guy Fawkes was the man who tried to blow up parliament by conspiring in the gunpowder plot to kill the members of what he and his accomplices thought was a corrupt parliament. Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up British parliament with gunpowder in 1605. Why this is celebrated, I do not know... probably because he failed, but the fireworks are a recreation of the explosives he attempted to detonate to bring down the government of the time. He was attempting a Catholic revolution at the time. Effigies of Guy Fawkes are also burned on bonfires in addition to the firework displays.
