During that time, fireworks were not used for festivities but were mainly designed to drive away evil spirits. The Chinese, for example, used fireworks at religious events at this time, to ensure that no evil spirits would appear at these sacred events.
It was not until the Middle Ages that it was also used in Europe. In that time, Europeans used it to drive away evil spirits and as a weapon in wars.
When they wanted to blow up a parliament building with fireworks in 1605, this went completely wrong. From this day on, fireworks are seen as something festive, because since the failure to blow up the parliament building, fireworks were lit every year to celebrate this failure.
In this way, fireworks have changed from being a means of chasing away ghosts and blowing up buildings to being a means of making festive occasions even more festive.
Unfortunately, accidents with fireworks happen every year. This is because they are not handled carefully, because children or adults take too much risk when setting off fireworks or because fireworks are set off illegally.
Most people who have accidents have damage to their eyes. Also, there are many victims of fireworks who lose one finger, several fingers, or even a whole hand when it explodes in their hands.
