Where 1605 fits
Why 1605 is special
The plot to blow up Parliament was betrayed by an anonymous letter, and Guy Fawkes was one of thirteen conspirators rather than the leader. Britain still marks the failure of an attempt on its parliament with fireworks, which is an unusual thing for a country to commemorate annually.
