Top 10 Croatian People

The Top Ten
1 Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system, X rays, Radio, Remote Control, Laser, and Electric motors. Tesla developed and used fluorescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. Nikola Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased.

Our world is lucky that Nikola Tesla migrated to USA. If not this brilliant inventor would be probably killed by Croatian nazis. He was Serb and in WW II Croatian nazis "ustashe" killed many of Tesla family members together with over 1000000 of Serbs, Jews, Gypsird and muslim people.
