Marking by official language, I prioritized the most prevalent language in countries with multiple official languages. Notable considerations include:
* Belgium, where Dutch and French are spoken.
* Switzerland, with German, French, Italian…
* Cyprus, where Greek and Turkish are spoken.
* Spain, with Catalan, and other languages too.
Also, *most* Wikipedia pages that label Tesla exclusively as a Serb (light blue color) emphasize that he was only a Serbian inventor.
I mean Croats massacred Serbians like Tesla in 40’s. 300k was converted to Catholicism and 300k was expelled. Around 200k was killed. Therefore Croatia has no right to claim Tesla just because the guy was born in Modern Croatia. Btw this does not justify Serbian genocide of Bosnians and Croats in the 90s. I added this note because Balkans has nationalism problem and some people will say ” what about this and that” so I am writing this beforehand.
Tesla was Yugoslav-American scientist that was born in what is now Croatia
*I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.*
*Long live all Yugoslavians.*
-Nikola Tesla
😂 uh oh
Are you talking about Niko van Tessel, the noted Dutch inventor?
Ah shit, here we go again…
Undoubtedly, he was born as a Serb in Smiljan, in the territory of the former Austrian Empire (present-day Croatia).
He spent most of his life working in the United States, where he also obtained citizenship.
There exists, as often mentioned in Croatian public discourse, [a Western Union Telegram](https://www.teslasociety.com/tesla_achievements3.htm) from Nikola Tesla to Croatian Leader Dr. Vlatko Macek on May 25, 1936, where he wrote: “I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland. Long live all Yugoslavs.”
At his funeral, the song “Tamo daleko” (“There, Far Away”) was played. This Serbian folk song was composed in 1916 to commemorate the Serbian Army’s retreat through Albania in WWI.
It is undeniable that [many Teslas were killed by the Ustashe regime](https://www.jusp-jasenovac.hr/default.aspx?sid=7618) in Croatia during WWII, which I believe is one of the causes of animosity between Croatia and Serbia in these disputes.
What do textbooks in balkans say?
In romania they say romania is in central europe lmao

Brit here. Never knew he could in any way claim to be American. I always thought he was Serbian.
Surely you mean Irish inventor Nick O’Latesla.
German wiki be like ‘Yeah, I’m not touching *that* topic with a 10 foot pole.’
German-speakers: “FFS, don’t drag us into this…”
He came to America and became American. Then he got shafted by Thomas Edison, but now US schools all teach about what a complete dick Edison was to Nikola, it’s a tragedy. The smear campaign Edison put on was terrible.
IS HE FUCKING DUMB
Well, actually…he was a Finnish inventor Nikkolaelmi Tessllautu
Nicola Tessola is Italian! /s
As a “Serb” I believe that Tesla has indenivized him self as a Yugoslav
I can’t imagine such an intelligent man thinking about all of this
religion = ethnicity shit
What’s up with Croats? Lol
Mikołaj Teslowicz, Kraków born and raised. Third most known inventor in the country, just after Schodov and Dvortsov.
Portugal 🇵🇹 being a proud balkaner. 😂👍
whats the difference blue striped, green striped and green ? they seem the same to me
90% of articles on Portuguese Wikipedia are written in Brazilian Portuguese and from a Brazilian perspective, so Portugal should probably be grey
Ok, how about Adam Mickiewicz?
I’d say Yugoslavian, but since our country doesn’t exist anymore, all those are also fine, I guess.
So most parts of the Germanophone world don’t want to get involved in this, huh? Ein kluger Schachzug.
Portugal is a eastern country theory proving to be true every day
The goatest of GOATs
Ukrainian inventor Mykola Tesliuk
Kosovo is an independent state, not part of Serbia.
We in Serbia definitively think he was a serbian, not an american-serbian lol! This map needs to be changed asap 🤣
Tesla was a Serb who spent almost 20 years from his birth in Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, “a nominally autonomous kingdom and constitutionally defined separate political nation within the Austro-Hungarian Empire”. (quote from English Wiki)
He spent 32 hours (yes you’ve read that correctly) of his entire life in Serbia.
Croatia does not claim he was an ethnic Croat, but that he was a Croatian inventor or an inventor from Croatia whichever you like which I really think is nothing outrageous to claim.
I just can’t believe how Portugal suka blyat continues being right consistently, over, over, over and over again
I would think that after living long enough in America he’d be a naturalized American citizen. Ethnically speaking he’s a Serb, which is different to nationality.
The Swedish wikipedia page reads:
>**Nikola Tesla** (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла), born 10 July 1856 in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (presentday Croatia), dead 7 January 1943 in New York, was a Serbian-American inventor and mechanical and electrical engineer.
Some Serbia, some Croatia, some Austria, some America.

Nah bro, everyone knows Nikola Tesla was [Albanian](https://www.ocnal.com/2020/04/nikola-tesla-albanian-origin.html).

Is it the same with Marie Chocolata Curie?
I thought he was born in Yugoslavia?
You mean Nikolaos Teselidis?
