Introduction

Summaries:
 International expositions held between 1876 and 1916 were promoted to develop economies of different cities and regions and to provide manufacturing and commercial interests that would led to mass consumption of their products. As increasing industrialization and repeating industrial depressions created tensions between social classes, United States promoted fairs that alleviated anxiety of  people and kept their white supremacy. Distinguishing themselves as scientifically, artistically, politically advanced, the international expositions offered Americans racial and cultural prejudices and built public support for specific foreign and domestic polices. The American fairs therefore evoked shared community of shared experiences and their faith. Throughout the various international fairs, United States expanded its imperialism and developments across the world.
