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.
