The World's Fair (also called the International Exposition or Expo)
is an international festival of arts and sciences. Participating
countries present artistic and educational displays in national pavilions to showcase their country's history or world issues.
The first international exhibition in the form we know it today was held in London in 1851. Paris hosted several world's fairs in the late 19th century, and the idea was soon copied by several other cities.
Rising popularity of the World's Fair concept brought conflicts
of schedule and interest. In 1928, a convention to schedule regular
World's Fairs was created, and the International Exhibition Bureau was
created to coordinate World's Fair organization.
