Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The Statue of Liberty was originally intended for which country?"
That’s right, the world’s most recognized symbol of freedom and the American dream, was originally intended for Egypt, which ultimately rejected it for being too old fashioned. The decision came as a disappointment to Lady Liberty’s creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who’d envisioned the Suez Canal as the ideal venue for his mammoth harbor structure. Bartholdi was apparently inspired by the Sphinx and the pyramids and the idea of creating something massive that could be eternal. After his failure in Egypt, the artist shifted his attention to America, which was prospering after the end of the Civil War.
