The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt on King James I by a group of English Catholics in 1605. There are various synonyms for this historical event, such as the Gunpowder Treason, the Jesuit Treason, or the Powder Plot. Some also refer to it as the Guy Fawkes Plot, as Guy Fawkes was one of the prominent figures involved in the plot. The event is widely remembered and celebrated in England with bonfires and firework displays every year on November 5th, which is known as Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night. Despite its failure, the Gunpowder Plot remains a significant part of British history.
