# World expositions
The history of World Expositions fascinates me. Leaving this here because UNDOUBTEDLY there will be more.
## What is a World Exposition?
- Only those that are sanctioned by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), or classified as one after BIE came into existence.
- These are different than World Fairs (which *also* fascinate me!)
