The Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40 boosted San Francisco.  The exposition's board was dominated by members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce who had the support of major area corporations, other western states, and federal agencies. The Exposition departed from the tradition of world fairs in its eclectic organization of exhibits, which included productions, displays, lectures, films, demonstrations, and bazaars. These exhibits reflected a transitional phase in American culture, characterized by the process of fragmentation and recombination. The tensions of American society on the eve of World War II were manifested in exhibitions expressing both desires for peace and simplicity, and fascination with expansion and technology.<ref>Lisa Rubens, "Re-presenting the Nation: The Golden Gate International Exposition," ''European Contributions to American Studies'' 1994 27: 121-139.</ref>
