                    France hosted the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris, which saw the construction of the now world-famous Eiffel Tower as an eye-catching centerpiece. According to the Bureau International de Expositions, this World’s Fair was intended as a means to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and to “reaffirm France’s stability.”
