In the history of Pesach the Jewish people lived in Egypt. In Egypt the Jewish people were forced into slavery. Day after day they needed to work in slavery. The Egyptians did not give them food. It was hot. The slaves only got one little piece of bread a day so they could work for the Egyptians on the day. Whenever the Jewish people would build something the Egyptians would break it and would tell them to do it again and it was really tiring for the Jewish people.
One day, after the Jewish people could not handle it anymore, they went to fight against the Egyptians and they won. Then the leader of the Jewish people opened the sea so the Jewish people could leave Egypt and then the Egyptians went and tried to catch the Jewish people. The Jewish got closer and closer to the edge on the other side of the sea and when the Egyptians were in the middle of the sea it closed and the Egyptians were washed away in the sea.
Before the Jewish people went to the sea they tried to cook bread but they did not have time to cook the dough so it turned into matzah. That's why Jewish people eat matzah and not anything with flour. Then they needed to go to Israel so they needed to walk for 40 years with no food and only little water and lots of people died. When they got to Israel they celebrated that they were home. This is the History of Pesach. That's why you celebrate Pesach.
