What nationality was Nikola Tesla?

we owe so much to this genius !

I’m glad the comments didn’t disappoint me. Instant Serb-Croat argument.

Svjetlana81, It's not the only connectio, he was raised in Croatia, finished primary and secondary school here. His whole youth he spent in Croatia. He was never spending any time in Serbia.

Player #34776162, Hi is 100% Serbian. His father was orthodox priest. His family was killed by nazi Croats during 2nd World War. His house was blown up during 90's by Croats. He himself declared as a Serb. He was just born in the Austria-Hungary empire on the territory of today's Croatia and that's all his link with Croatia.

Milutin Draghici and Gica Mandici were he s parents born romanians, they got the nickname Teslea first, from the tool they use to make. He was Born in Serbia under the name of Nicolae Tesla. If u look for the tool tesla, u ll see where it s coming from😉

So to the logic that he was serb because that is what his birthplace was at the time, that would make a lot of french, polish and dutch germans if they were born between 1940 and 1944?

Natalija, I also never lived in Serbia, but Im a Serb. Please dont use that logic its flawed. His father was orthodox priest as well as his maternal grandfather. Also it was Austria teritory when he was born, do he is Serb-Austrian if we want to be precise.

Croats will disagree with this answer. 😁

DONNA-Indiana Real Lady, I think, not sure that Elon Musk makes the Tesla and named it in honor of the original.

He never lived in Serbia. Form Croatia to Austria, Hungary, soon to USA...
