The square was the entry point of two major international expositions: the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|Paris Universal Exposition]] of 1900, which left behind the [[Grand Palais]] and the [[Petit Palais]], and the 1925 [[International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts]], which gave its name to the [[Art Deco]] architectural style of the 20th century. It was also the site of great national celebrations, including the victory celebrations of the end of the [[First World War]] and the [[Liberation of Paris]] in the Second World War. It experienced violent confrontations. A [[6 February 1934 crisis|far-right demonstration]] in 1934 turned violent, with eleven deaths and two hundred injured.<ref>Fierro, Alfred, "Histoire et Dictionnaire de Paris" (1996), p. 643</ref> It also hosted triumphant celebrations of sporting events such as the [[France national football team|French national team]]'s victory in the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]].
