History of the tallest buildings in the world : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the tallest buildings in the world
The tallest building in the world is Burj Khalifa. Before Burj Khalifa, the title of "world's tallest building" has been borne by various buildings. The skyscraper was invented in Chicago in 1885. From this point, the world's tallest building was always in the United States with New York City accumulating 87 years, and Chicago accumulating 30 years. This distinction was held exclusively within the United States for over 100 years (1885–1998) before going to the Eastern Hemisphere. Before the current era of commercial skyscrapers, there was an era where the tallest buildings were Christian churches/cathedrals (c. 1250–1901), dominated by England and Germanic territories. Before this time, it is not possible to conclusively state what was the tallest building in the world. For instance, the Lighthouse of Alexandria (completed about 280 BC) was very tall, but its true height is not known, nor is it known if structures in Asia were taller. (For thousands of years, the Great Pyramid in Egypt was the tallest ''structure'' in the world, but the Great Pyramid is not considered a building since it was not habitable.) ==Definition of terms==
