Organizers of the World's Columbian Exposition invited foreign governments to participate in the fair by building exhibitions that might highlight their nation's cultural, economic, and technological contributions. Exposition organizers published detailed guidelines in 1891, specifying the process that should be followed to plan, construct, and equip these exhibits according to fair regulations and relevant federal law.
