Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish in the Low Countries,[1][2] belonged to a group of Roman Catholic restorationists from England who planned the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.[3] Their aim was to displace Protestant rule by blowing up the Houses of Parliament while King James I and the entire Protestant, and even most of the Catholic, aristocracy and nobility were inside. The conspirators saw this as a necessary reaction to the systematic discrimination against English Catholics.[4]
The Gunpowder Plot was led by Robert Catesby, but Fawkes was put in charge of its execution. He was arrested a few hours before the planned explosion, during a search of the cellars underneath Parliament in the early hours of 5 November prompted by the receipt of an anonymous warning letter.
Guy Fawkes Night (or "bonfire night"), held on 5 November in the United Kingdom and some parts of the Commonwealth, is a commemoration of the plot, during which an effigy of Fawkes is burned, often accompanied by a fireworks display. The word "guy", meaning "man" or "person", is derived from his name.
In the United States, Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Gunpowder Plot = 5 November 1605
Independance day = July 4th 1776
mike~DA~mAn We started our fireworks first, so it looks like independance day is a rip of from bonfire night.
Also we appreciate the HELP you gave us in the war's but you didnt win it all by yourself.
Infact you, just like me, wasnt even a tadpole swimming in your daddy's bollox.
Sunday is rememberance day in Britain I'm glad none of our old war heroe's are on this forum, reading how the American's "WON THE WAR'S SINGLE HANDEDLY" and not with the help of the millions of British military casualtie's over world war's 1 and 2.
