Although there are instances of significant anniversaries being celebrated as early as the 17th century, it was Britain's Great Exhibition of 1851 that started the fashion for large-scale 'expositions' that lasted for up to six months. The success of the Great Exhibition prompted other countries to try and replicate it, most notably the USA, which was able to bring together a strong nationalist dimension with an opportunity to make money. By analysing the historiography of centennials and the variety of reasons for holding them from the 17th century to the 21st, this article argues that they continue to instil and promote pride in locality, region and nation despite growing competition from the major international sporting championships. |
