It is a celebration of the arrest and conviction of Guy (Guido) Fawkes who - with others - planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. The date is known as Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes night when an effigy of Guy Fawkes (a Guy) is burned on bonfires throughout the country and fireworks are also ignited in celebration. Guy Fawkes was put to death by being burned at the stake. The displays are particularly appealing to children who learn a little rhyme; Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. Its origins are a bit gruesome but most people don't think of the original reason for the celebration.

They've never left. They arrived in the 5th century and became part of the "English" in the 9th/10th century. The period of their rule came to an end with the Norman invasion of 1066 but like much of the nations mongrel history they just merged becoming Anglo-Norman. While the ruling class was Norman and then Anglo Norman the underlying people were considered mostly descended from Anglo saxon (although Jutes, Norse and Celts are all mixed in there as well) and the term has stayed with England.

As you can see from the above, we're just a crazy mixed-up, yet fantastic nation!

Most people would consider England to be part of Europe and it is part of the UK, which is in the EU.

The UK is actually physically separated from mainland Europe by the English Channel.

On the side next to the flagpole, (the hoist side), the thick white band is above the red band on both diagonals, the white band being part of the cross of St Andrew, the Scottish flag and the red band being part of the cross of St Patrick, the Irish flag.

The cross of St Andrew is above that of St Patrick at the hoist because the cross was added to the flag before St Patrick's cross, therefore the cross of St Andrew is entitled to the higher position

On the side that flutters free, the fly side, this is reversed, with the Irish flag being above the Scottish flag.

Before 1666, the Bubonic, or Black, Plague was killing hundreds of people in London per month. Nobles on the whole escaped the horrors by moving into country residences, but peasants were living in ultimate poverty. But after the Great Fire of London, in the year of 1666, things were very different. Yes, people had less homes, and yes, St. Paul's Cathedral wes essentially burned to the ground, but also, yes, the plagues rats were totally wiped out, leaving England, especially London, plague free. In 1600, the Dutch East India Spice Trading Company was dominant but by 1700, the British East India Company was becoming dominant, reflecting the British naval power.

In 1790 when the British Revolution happened factorys and machines were developed to produce objects for the public faster but Britain needed raw materials.

For this reason the English colonized India (actually, forced India to subjugate - go under the British rule). The reason the British forced India to go under repression is because they knew that they had cheap labor so they could easily afford it. Most of the raw materials were gotten from India.
