Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, originated in England in the early 17th century. It commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and others attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament to assassinate King James I. Following the plot's failure, November 5th was declared a day of Thanksgiving, leading to the tradition of lighting bonfires and fireworks. Over time, it has evolved into a celebration featuring effigies of Fawkes and various festivities.
