The Century of Progress International Exposition was a world’s fair held in Chicago, Illinois, from 1933 to 1934, to celebrate the city’s centennial. The fair was designed to showcase technological innovation, scientific achievements, and the possibilities of modern industry during a time when the United States was grappling with the Great Depression.
