World's Fairs

World's Fairs, also known as universal expositions or expos, are large international exhibitions that showcase the achievements of nations in areas like culture, technology, and innovation. These events often feature pavilions built by participating countries, where they display their latest advancements and celebrate their heritage. Established in the mid-19th century, World's Fairs aim to promote global understanding and cooperation, often introducing groundbreaking ideas, inventions, and designs. Examples include the Eiffel Tower at the 1889 Paris Exposition and the Space Needle at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. These fairs leave a lasting legacy on urban development and cultural exchange.
