The Imperial International Exhibition was a world's fair held in White City, London in 1909.[1] The exhibition was opened by the Duke of Argyll on 20 May 1909 and continued for five months before closing in October.[2][3]
This was the second of five exhibitions to be held at London's White City (following the Franco-British Exhibition and preceding the Japan–British Exhibition) and retained many of the 1908 exhibitions but on larger grounds and with additional amusements including an alpine railway.[3][4]
This gave the opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the three members of the recently agreed Triple Entente.[4] As part of this France displayed a Dahomey (now Benin) village; and Russia a Kalmuk camp.[4]
Austria, China, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands and Persia also participated.[3]
