Fun Fact About the 1904 World's Fair - 1904fairfacts
1904worldsfairsociety.org/site/
This is a short documentary of 1904 World's Fair that was held in St. Louis, also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This was one of many world expositions that have been held since 1856, but some consider this one to be one of the most significant for a variety of reasons. When the Fair was held, St. Louis was the 4th largest city in the United States.

    Another proof that these world fairs were fake history. 1904 St Louis olympics had only 100 athletes from different countries. If you watch the videos, there’s literally no spectators, citing difficulty in traveling back then. Yet this particular fair drew at least 19 million people. There was a reset. The stories don’t line up!!

    If you believe the narrative, you are part of the problem. These are/were old world buildings. The controllers had to introduce them somehow, so they could tear them down.

    So the explanation for the art museum and history museum being made from real stone and not plaster is that those buildings were so popular that they had them rebuilt legitimately after their plaster counterparts had been torn down. But based on the footage there were many other buildings that were more beautiful and impressive. Why weren't any of those buildings selected to be rebuilt? Just doesn't make any sense.

    Glad others mentioned the Olympics as it's not in the video. I would have thought that would have a section in the video but it's absent. If you look at that medal table, I'm not sure why the world didn't travel to St. Louis for the games? America had over 520 competitors over many months that it was played. Canada had 56, Germany 22. Only 12 nations competed and no other had more than single digits competing. Hardly a "world" competition, right? The U.S. won 231 medals (76 gold, 78 silver, 77 bronze) Germany was 2nd with 15. I'm an American, but that's totally cringe-worthy. I mean, how much pride does one take in the "competition" that really wasn't one? Anyone have an explanation for the turnout and results? I'm always curious about this every four years as we get close to the games and we all know the lead the U.S. has in the medal count in the Summer games, plus adding in the fact that the old USSR and E/W Germany totals don't add onto the active Germany or Russia totals of today, so it's not like the USA lead is threatened in the least for the All-Time honors. Maybe our real intrigue is in the winter games and seeing if the U.S. can continue to add to it's improving medal hauls over time? Hard to top Norway and Germany though.

    Interesting video and good presentation. The level of detail showcased in the 1272-acre development seems very impressive. However, achieving this level of detail in just 4 years in 1902, when most communication and transportation relied on horse and wagon, appears highly ambitious. Imagine writing letters for purchasing materials and ordering supplies, then relying on horse-drawn deliveries to move everything. These factors would likely extend the development timeline significantly.

    You left out the fact that the largest pipe organ built in the United States, at the time, by California Art Organ Company, was installed in the concert hall at the fair, and daily organ concerts were played throughout the fair by the finest organists living at that time. After the fair, it was purchased by the Wanamaker Department store in Philadelphia, moved there, and installed, where it still is played daily, and remains the largest completely playing pipe organ in the world.

      I was very tempted to say "Dubai will host a fair in 2021" because when this was filmed, covid was a very real thing that everyone knew about; it just wasn't everywhere yet. However, it's better to age like milk than to try and go against official information. 2020 was a weird year.
