Why did Gustave Eiffel submit the Eiffel Tower to a council?

Answer 1

Eiffel tower was mainly built for the international exhibition but there were some other reasons too. It was built because that date was the celebration of hundred years of French Revolution. People and higher officials of France wanted to celebrate this day by making France more beautiful. It became one of the most beautiful buildings of not only France but also the world. It was also taken as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Another reason for which the tower was built was the advancement in the field of science. Because the Eiffel tower was tall it could be used for the experiments of temperature, pressure and radio telegraphy.

The last reason for the Eiffel tower to be built was to create history that will also glorify the exhibition. In those times it was the tallest building all over the planet and its design was very helpful in creating and constructing other buildings in France.

Actually it was purposed that tower is to be constructed in Barcelona for the world exhibition to be held at 1888. But the officials of that city did not take any interest in it and thought it was an expensive project. After that Paris agreed for the construction of tower and it became the entrance mark for the exposition.
