(Applebaum 103)
Here the Peoples of the world unite in amity and understanding, impelled by a friendly rivalry and working toward a common purpose: to set forth their achievements of today and their contributions to the "World of Tomorrow" -Official Guide Book of the New York World's Fair 1939 (Cotter 55).
The Government Zone was the largest area, not too surprising considering one of the goals of any world fair is international collaboration. The zone surrounds the Lagoon of Nations. The Lagoon was created by widening a part of the Flushing River. In order to control the water level it had to be dammed. This allowed easy access to service fountains and restock the fireworks (Cotter 56).
