How was the Eiffel Tower built and why?

The Eiffel Tower construction started in 1887, and ended in 1888. Although most people think the Eiffel Tower was made of steel, it was actually made out of puddled iron, which is a type of wrought iron melted. The Eiffel Tower was made out of 1808 pieces of puddled iron that were riveted together. The Eiffel Tower was built for the entrance for the World Exhibition, which was a celebration for the French Revolution. The Tower is now a national momentum of Paris. The many changes include a 160 meter long thermometer attached to the side of the tower, a skating rink on the first floor, a television antenna placed on top of the tower, a meteorology (weather) laboratory at the top of the Tower, and a printing press for a newspaper on the second floor.
