Tesla was born in Split, in what is now Croatia (the borders back then
were much fuzzier, since the whole place was part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, this being before the Balkan Wars, the ones
from 1903-1913). I seem to recall his mother was a Serb. He went to
university in Prague, but didn't stay to complete his degree (ISTR all
he missed out on was the final exam, and by then he had basic patents
for several devices which were far better credentials than a bachelor's
degree would ever have been, so off he went to the US, eventually
becoming a naturalised citizen in 1899.

and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
