War of Currents Two of the greatest inventors in American history are Thomas Edison and Nikolas Tesla. However‚ they had not achieved their success on their own. Many argue that the rivalry between them had pushed them to create technology which we still use today. Without the extraordinary relationship between the two‚ Tesla and Edison would not have accomplished the level of success both of them had. In the beginning‚ the men had great respect for each other. Tesla had left Serbia for New
