Is it just an English thing. If no one knows what it is I shall explain. If everyone is sitting comfortably:
On the 5th November 1605 a group of Catholics led by Robert Catesby and including Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the houses of parliament. The plan was to blow up the houses of parliament and kill King James I (Also King James VI of Scotland and protestant) his eldest sons and most of the English parliament. Needless to say the plan didn't work and the group were caught, tortured and executed.
Now I know this is obviously English story but I was just wondering if any other countries celebrate it for any reason.
