One Of The Most Treasured Monuments In The Nation
The memorial has several inscriptions of excerpts which include “Savior of the Union.” The iconic statue has witnessed several protests and speeches over the years as one of the nation’s most treasured sites.
Did you know that back in 1963, the legendary “I Have A Dream” speech was carried out by Dr. Martin Luther King near the memorial? Over 6 million visitors make an effort to pay their respects at the Lincoln Memorial each year.
The Structures Built For The 1900 World Exposition
The 1900 World Exposition lured in well over 48 million visitors to Paris. The event boasted various buildings from countries around the world with structures submitted from the United States, the Ottoman Empire, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Monaco, which can be seen in the image below.
Despite the sheer beauty of these structures, they were demolished immediately after the event. This was a sensational if not brief celebration of the world’s most magnificent man-made works, one which would go down in history as supremely epic.
