Many different nations like to claim that it was one of their lot that invented TV. But it was actually invented over a series of steps by people from several countries.

But who invented TV? Dexpends where your loyalties lie. 1884 Nipkow (German): Scanning disc. 1907 Rosing (Russian): Scanner plus CRT. 1926 Logie Baird (Scot): Scanner plus CRT, moving images. 1927 Farnsworth (American): First fully electronic. 1929 Zworykin (US Russian): Closest to ‘proper’ TV.
