Yeah I definitely question the IQ of anyone thinking the preferred scenario is a government caving to religious extremists bloodshed in order to have a puppet monarch likely controlled by a foreign power, I'm sure England would have blossomed under that. But the likely event is that England would have become more Puritan, if you think a failed terrorist plot caused anti-Catholic feeling, imagine what a successful one would have done. Even Catholics should think Guy is a fool. Ironically England was already anti-Catholic because the Pope gave permission for Queen Elizabeth I's murder. It became a tit-for-tat battle, but Catholics play the victim despite treating Protestants the same all over Europe.
I think we all did to tell you the truth. You weren't really taught about other countries' celebrations so it is only natural to think like that when you're young.
And in my days, in North America.....No one in England celebrated Halloween...as they do in Canada and the US. Welcome to the "Americanization of Britain"....so very sad.
It’s weird because this was Popes day. Guy F was a radical Roman Catholic terrorist who wanted to destroy the Protestant Christian’s effort to have an English translation of the bible called the King James Bible.
I’m British and we celebrate this every year in England but guy Fawkes night does NOT celebrate guy Fawkes, it celebrates the fact his plot failed and the King and Parliament survived, for any Americans or other foreigners watching this please turn it off it is completely wrong!
Bonfire night can be a celebration of either the failure or the attempt. It all depends on your personal opinion of it. A vast majority of my family spend bonfire night cracking jokes about how its a shame he didn't succeed. (And no, we are not catholics, or even religious.) The way you celebrate bonfire night is not the way others do. Bonfire night doesn't really have a true meaning anymore, it can be whatever you want
Technically it's about whatever you want it to be. It's original purpose and reason is different to today's, especially since it became illegal to celebrate terrorism. Nowadays it's an excuse to entertain kids and big kids by legalised arson, ignition of assorted chemicals in cardboard tubes and to listen to music with added loud explosions.
@@dennis8196 ... It was never about celebrating terrorism, it was celebrating that an act of terror by a Catholic conspirator against the newly protestant democracy of England was * stopped *.
@@personal4528 you need to reread your comment, and look for the contradiction. Celebrating terrorism could be celebrating one specific event, of many. 5/11 is about celebrating 1 act of terrorism.

Furthermore it doesn't matter what it once stood for, it's no longer a celebration of anything, it's an excuse to have some drinks, have an outdoor party, burn some junk and lights some chemicals to create loud explosions and bright coloured sparks.
@@dennis8196 are you thick? its celebrating the fact that something bad was *PREVENTED* And stop projecting your historical illiteracy on everyone. Just because you are ignorant of something doesn't mean everyone else is.
Yeah - they got the opposite of their original intentions. But I understand the appeal of Fawkes, willing to give his life for the beliefs that were once legally enforceable during his own youth. And he still got the last one over the "protestant or die" King and country by killing HIMSELF on the actual scaffold - depriving them of the "satisfaction" of the gruesome 3 part death penalty they were planning.
This is Discovery, part 2 tells you about the hauntings in the area and part 3 explains the hauntings are caused by the dead souls of aliens that died while being probed by their cult overlords. I wish I could say I'm being sarcastic but you know I'm not.
It is a shame that you didn't mention 'Penny for the Guy' either because this was pretty well explained. If my history is correct, King James actually became a better king because of this event (my memory of school might be a little distorted after twenty years lol).
People will be happy to find out that the celebrations are being curtailed 1) Fires make smoke and that might bother some with respiratory allergies 2) Fireworks make loud noises, as well as smoke, and might bother those with skittish dispositions and 3) With the DEI mandates there just isn't any money to "waste" on frivolous activities like celebrations. Welcome to the future and happy Guy Fawkes night!
Wasn't it the case that despite Guy's plot failing. Parliament did become better afterwards? I am Dutch, so my history might be a bit crooked, it's simply what I do remember from a very boring history teacher nearly 20 years ago. Lmao
It is definitely not that exciting of an event in England usually it’s a few hundred people stood in a field watching wood burn with a couple of fireworks
Bonfire night is not apart of English history, it is United Kingdom history, it about the Scottish Protestant King taken over the throne and parlement joining the Kingdom of Scotland and England/Wales, catholic english guy Fawkes did not like this.
Almost right....Guy Fawkes was not the man who made the plot. He was the first to get caught. He was in the group because of his knowledge of gun powder which he got when helping the Dutch fight.
Be clear when Fawkes said go back to your Scottish Highlands that in no way means the king was Scottish.... he was an English lord given Scottish land stolen from the Scottish clans
Guy Fawkes was prejudiced and anti Scottish. He objected to having a Scot, James, on the British Throne ( as the first King of Great Britain. ) Fortunately he failed to kill James... and the British Nation was therefore Not " strangled at birth " and our British Story began.
Born June 19 1566 in Edinburgh Castle which makes him Scottish. He was know in Scotland as James IV but when Eliz 1st died he became King James 1st of England He was the first Stuart King of England. He did not know his mother (Mary Queen of Scotts) as she spent 19 years in Jail......Elizabeth put her in Jail. So he was saying to James go back to Scotland. The whole thing was all to do about Catholic and Protestants

He's not despised 😂 kids use to make guy fakes but they didn't know the backstory... People love him now cause they hate the government

There is no celebration of Guy Fawkes as a rebel. You are incorrect.
When I was young and growing up in England I thought every country celebrated BONFIRE NIGHT 🔥🔥🔥

It’s weird looking from a British perspective on a video targeted at Americans. It’s so strange to see people not aware of who Guy Fawkes is
It’s weird because this was Popes day. Guy F was a radical Roman Catholic terrorist who wanted to destroy the Protestant Christian’s effort to have an English translation of the bible called the King James Bible.
This video doesn't help educate them either. Saying he's 'celebrated' and implying it only happens in Lewes of all places 😂

@@jupitersnoot4915 Id agree with that. Not my king.
Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu of Boughton, my ancestor, was the person that called for Bon Fire Night to be made a holiday.
Loved doing penny for the Guy as a kid
Bonfire Night is NOT about celebrating Guy Fawkes. It IS about celebrating that his catholic-motivated terror plot was foiled.
Yes!! I agree! The guy in this video twisted the facts... smh

I'm from Lewes, we also celebrate things like soldiers that died in WW1 and 2, native Americans, Romans and suffragettes; there's a big range :)

“…and in the film V for Vendetta.” Should be rewritten to “…and in the best selling graphic novel V for Vendetta and it’s film adaptation.”
It's the failure of the plot that is celebrated.

Remember remember the 5th of November....
The most ironic rhyme. I could never remember the day. Remember remember some day in November.
You need help
Simply red played the part well..
We celebrate our independence from the catholic faith and being Protestant
This is completely incorrect. We celebrate him FAILING
yea im gonna trust discovery, which tried to tell me megalodons still exist, on shark week. sniff some more paint kid.
Not one mention of the Protestant Martyrs of Lewes? Just a load if burning crosses and a pope effigy for no reason...
People seriously celebrate this on my birthday. CELEBRATE MY BDAY INSTEAD GOD -
Wtf ain't guy faux the character from that movie???? He was a real dude
Its Faulks pal
It’s Fawkes..
Yeah, we learn about Guy Fawkes at school here in the U.K so don't sweat it mate. I wouldn't expect that to be taught across the world

Its usually more than a couple of firworks. Atleast where i live the fireworks go on for hours
We are Protestant and do not accept the pope, the king is king.
