The Quai des Nations Had Been Taken Down Right Away
It looks like a completely different place now! The only landmark you can identify is the Eiffel Tower. The structures had been built using cheap materials, so they were taken down in no time.
Aside from the Eiffel Tower, the only thing that remains from the World Exposition would be the Passerelle Debilly. The area has mostly been left open-air with as little construction as possible.
This Polish Apartment Was Almost Demolished During WWII
The photos here show us the widespread devastation that happened in WWII. This was a photo of Ratajczaka and Św. Marcin Streets in Poznań, Poland. The apartment complex was almost torn down.
Over six million Polish people died during the war. That figure is nearly a fifth of the Polish population. Aside from violent attacks like what happened here, lots of people died in prisons and camps.
