Great states holding high power and influence in their times have taken these fairs for exhibiting their growth and strengths. Through these places, the newly industrialized states were looking for new markets by introducing their increased production and production goods. In the world, which gradually began to globalize, fairs began to turn into universal exhibitions presenting the dimensions of the development achieved. France has been a leading country which had taken the first step for building fairs as trade show marketings. In France, all fairs organized between 1798 and 1849 formerly hosted the exhibitions at the national level, and are considered the ancestors of international fairs. In addition to the countries such as America, France, Spain, Portugal and Russia, the Ottoman Empire participated in this fair in London. The Ottoman Empire also participated in this fair because it aimed to reveal the success of the state in fields of agriculture, art and industry and of the Sultan’s share in these achievements. The first fair in the Ottoman Empire was held in 1863 during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz. The exhibition has been opened in the Horse Square under the name of “Sergi-i Umûmî-i Osmanî” based on the fairs participated and experienced before. After the first exhibition, efforts to organize a new fair would have risen precisely thirty years later. This work includes the first fair organizing efforts in Ottoman State, including the preparatory works, the reasons for failing in such attempts and all required knowledge about the world fairs held until then.},author={Turgut KARAÇOBAN},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies - Historical Analysis}}
