Why was The Gunpowder Plot a turning point in history?
It depends highly on which point of view you see it from.
On the one hand, people began to see that they had more power to control the government with force, which in turn lead to an influx of protests/riots when the people didn't like the decision of government, whereas previously they were more quiet/accepting of the government.
From the governments perfective however it showed that they should be more wary of the people and that they actually had a lot more power than they thought. The royal argument for this would've increased the laws regarding treason- making harsher punishments than previous.
How did the gunpowder plot start?
Basically,, In 1605 Guy Fawkes set up a huge plot with many other people (go on www.guyfawkesplot.co.uk/peopleintheplan to find out who) and they set up a fire. Guy Fawkes WAS the leader unlike what people say about his team mate. Guy Fawkes wasn't actually called Guy Fawkes. His real name was Gary Hawkes but they called him Guy Fawkes because of 'TheGreatSignature'. The Great Signature was a piece of paper which was signed by Fawkes but got torn. It said... G y awkes. So people made his name Guy Fawkes. This was in 1601. Guy Fawkes set up the plot. Does this help? Hope so... :)
