The World Fair History

The first World Fair was held in 1851 and took place in the Crystal Palace. The fair was designed to inspire new scientific inventions and advancements. The Fair's goals were to entertain and the fairs include amusements parks and great big pavilions.
However, "since World War II, there have only been four official world's fairs: in Brussels, Belgium, in 1958, Montreal, Canada, in 1967, Osaka, Japan, in 1970, and Seville, Spain, in 1992."
World Faris/Expos were used to show off a countries inventions. Usually it is the country that is hosting the fair.
