Welcome to the most epic showdown in the history of world expos! In 1937, the International Exposition in Paris brought together 44 countries, but it was the face-off between the German and Soviet Pavilions that stole the show.
The Expo was supposed to promote peace and cooperation, but these two iconic structures had other plans. They were cold, bellicose, and rough in design, a direct contradiction to the Expo's purpose.
