This is the list of 61 world expositions,
which were acknowledged as world expositions. Since
1928 exists an institution, which decides, whether an
event can be called a "world exposition".
Similar as the olympic games (but not with such a regular
cycle) countries and towns applies for organizing such
an event.
Here it is the Paris resident Bureau des Expositions,
which convokes a committee of representatives of the
member states for this decisions. The former free decision
of states and towns to call an exposition a world exposition
can be noticed for example in the years 1888 and 1889,
when world expositions were held in 5 different states
and towns.
