Andrija Mohorovčić ... should definitely be mentioned. Famous meteorologist and seismologist. Mohorovičić made the greatest contribution to science with the discovery of discontinuities in the Earth's crust. Through a very thorough study of the Pokupsko earthquake of October 8, 1909, 39 kilometers southeast of Zagreb, Mohorovičić determined that at a certain depth of the Earth, the speed of propagation of the seismic wave changes rapidly, which he attributed to changes in the composition of the Earth's crust at a depth of 54 kilometers, at the location measurements in Pokupski. Numerous later studies have proven the existence of the boundary surface (speed discontinuity surface) of the uppermost part of the Earth and in other areas of our planet, so this surface was named Mohorovičić's discontinuity, or Moho for short, in his honor. It has been shown that the thickness of the Earth's crust, or the depth of the Mohorovicič discontinuity, is not the same everywhere and that it changes from place to place. ​

I’m a big Luka Modric fan and Real Madrid fan! I love him!

Vi ste baš pozitivna hrvatska snaha koja vidi se voli Hrvatsku kao da je tu rođena. Bravo za vašu promociju naše zemlje!

Josip Kašman was a world-famous Baritone opera singer. He performed all over the world and was called the "King of Baritone". He was born on the lovely island of Mali Lošinj in 1850. You can find recordings of him singing on RU-vid. Sometimes spelled Guiseppe Kashmann.

My husband family is from Croatia and we went there every summer with our kids and my daughter was baptized and christened there last summer.

I know it's hard to draw a line. But it's also a matter of taste. I know that Anglo-Saxon culture often assumes actors and athletes to the scientists, so I will still mention some: Lavoslav Ružička, Andrija Mohorovičić, Ivan Lupis, Milutin Milanković, Marin Getaldić, Franjo Hanaman...

Amazing, thank you! Janica the skier is GOAT

Tesla was born on the 10th of July 1856 the Parish of Gospic in an Austrian Empire (1804-1867), and was baptized 3 months later in the Eastern Orthodox Church of St. Peter and Paul (the Old Slavonic Church rite) next to the family home in an Austrian Empire, today (from 1918) part of Croatia (Smiljan, Lika). His father, Milutin Tesla, was born in the village of Raduc on February 3, 1819. He was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Smiljan and later in Gospic, Tesla's mother, Georgina Đuka Tesla was born in the village Tomingaj in 1822 into the family of Serbian orthodox priest Nikola Mandić (1800-1863), after whom Tesla got his name. Nikola Tesla had 3 sisters: Milka, Angelina, and Marica, and an older brother named Dane. Nikola Tesla obtained an Austrian national citizenship in 1856 - 1867, Croatian-Slavnonian local citizenship in 1861 - 1867, Croatian-Hungarian national citizenship/Croatian - Slavonian local citizenship in 1867 - 1891 and finally he obtained his American citizenship on the 30th of July 1891. Tesla was Austro-Hungarian by ”nationality” and Serbian by cultural heritage, so the "official nationality" of Tesla was "Hungarian" from 1867. This is just a label the authorities agreed on in the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, it doesn't mean he had anything to do with Hungary. His ethnicity was Serbian, more specifically, his family was descended from the Serbs who had moved to the Austrian Empire in the late 17th century, escaping from the Ottomans, it is not sure that from 1867 Tesla's nationality would be Hungarian, if he did not acquired Austrian citizenship earlier, only from 1879 it would be possible. After the establishment of the Austro-Hungarian kingdom in 1867, Croatia became part of Hungary until the collapse of Austria-Hungary in 1918 following its defeat in World War I. On Oct. 29, 1918, Croatia proclaimed its independence and joined in union with Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia to form the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. The name was changed to Yugoslavia in 1929. In Croatia, from 1941 to 1945, many members of the Nikola Tesla family were killed, and 11 of his closest relatives, three women and eight men, were killed in the concentration camp Jasenovac. Tesla's house in Smiljan, Croatia where he was born, was during the Yugoslav Wars burned down, but it where restored and reopened in 2006. On 7 January 1943, at the age of 86, Tesla died alone in Room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker. It was Nikola Teslas last wish, that his ashes should be in Belgrade or anywhere in Serbia, also by his last will, he left everything he owned to the USA and Serbia (papers, stuff, plans, documents and diaries.). After death, his body was cremated and the ashes sent to Belgrade in 1957, since then, they have been on display inside a gold sphere at the Nikola Tesla Museum. Nikola Tesla was a Serbian American inventor who declared himself as "Serbian from Croatia". Globally, Tesla held more than 300 patents. In addition to his 112 U.S. patents, Tesla's patents totaled 192 in 26 other countries, some are: Tesla Coil, Radio, Induction Motor, alternating current (AC) and the shadowgraph etc.

On RU-vid there is a video of few years ago when Andretti visiting Motovun !!!

Glad you got the cup. Was wondering if you got it or if it ended up somewhere in Paraguay or Zambia! Can't really tell what happens with parcels sent by Canada Post these days; it's a hit or miss.

Nicky stands for all the Croatian people, no Croatian comes even close in comparison!

nice work

Hey, have you heard of Miljenko Matijevic from Zagreb? He's the lead singer of Steelheart, a rock band. He's got an amazing voice and he's really cool on stage.

Mira Furlan

Get the kids to try out Takeda special Tamagoyaki. It's like a interesting egg bento.

Slavoljub Penkala who invented pen.

Just a few I know off the top of my head: Robert Herjavec from Dragon's Den and Shark Tank, Rudolf Steiner- founder of the Waldorf schools, Stejpan Hauser from 2Cellos, Lidia Bastianich famous American celebrity chef.

Ivan Meštrović is just born in Vrpolje (his parents was on the way circumstantial situation), so his home village is Otavice in Dalmatia :)

nice one❤

Love me some Goran Visnjic! ❤❤❤

E,moj bogdane nek ti bog pomogne i prosvijetli ti pamet.

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist was born an ethnic Serb in the village of Smiljan, within the Military Frontier, in the Austrian Empire on 10 July 1856.His father, Milutin Tesla (1819-1879)was a priest of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Tesla's mother, Đuka Mandić (1822-1892), whose father was also an Eastern Orthodox Church priest, had a talent for making home craft tools and mechanical appliances and the ability to memorize Serbian epic poems. Đuka had never received a formal education. Tesla credited his eidetic memory and creative abilities to his mother's genetics and influence. Tesla's ancestors were from western Serbia, near Montenegro.

Peter Tomich (Petar Herceg Tonić) saved hundreds of lives in Pearl Harbor 1941.

You made a mistake, Mestrovic was born in Vrpolje dalmatin , not in Slavonic.( Potkrala vam se jedna greska,Mestrovic je rodjen u Vrpolju dalmatinskom ne u slavonskom.)

Nice video, thanks 🙌😊👌👍🍀

I think you can add the REAL father from the Von Trapp family to this list. Yes that Von Trapp from 'The Sound of Music' movie ... Georg von Trapp was born in Zadar when it was under Austrian Hungarian rule prior to World War I. And you could also add Mira Furlan, an actress who starred with Bruce Boxleitner on Babylon 5

Anything like a 100 of bagels.

Neki dan sam čuo da je naš nadbiskup Lujo Čurčija, vikar Egipatski i Aleksandrijski, otvorio Sueski kanal, a da je pri tome jedan naš radnik na kanalu otvorio zadnju ustavu prije otvorenja kanala, budući da je na izgradnji sudjelovalo 2700 Hrvata mahom iz Dubrovnika i Boke Kotorske.

Ivan Meštrović is Dalmatian.

A Tito?

and many more… 😉

Josip Broz is famous as only openly in the war against Hitler, AND BECAUSE of that I do not speak Italian, otherwise all or the majority of coastline would belong to Italy, and the continental part would also be much smaller

Ivan Meštrović from Vrpolje, Slavonia? Ivan Meštrović is from Otavice, Dalmatia. There still stands his famous mausoleum with his remains in it.

Croatia has existed since 1991, so before that people who were born on this territory were not called here, this should have been studied earlier. Especially their nationality, because Serbs have lived on this territory for centuries, so who is today’s Croatian? Especially Nikola Tesla......

Tesla was born in Austro-hungaria

Mike Tyson Abdul Abdul

Luka Modrić Zadar? hm

Slavoljub Penkala,Marcel pl.Kiepiach,David Schawrz,Mate Parlov,Milutin Milanković,Herman Potočnik,Franjo Hanuman,...the list is very long. and Nikola Tesla is not serbian! dont repeat serbian lies

Respect from Canada 🇨🇦

Di su vojskovođe,treba malo više poznavati povijest

No wonder the comments are so vitriolic. You should learn the history first and don't meddle into things you don't know, hoping to score cheap sympathy or viewing clicks.

😊 *Promo SM*

Looks like almost all the famous Croatians were/ are male. 😮

One more interesting thing about Nikola Tesla is that his father, Milutin ( old Serbian name) was an orthodox priest, and his mother Georgina also came from an orthodox priest's family. Nikola had gambling problems when he was young, and he had unexplainable psychic conditions (visions ) For his funeral in America he requested a popular Serbian patriotic song from First World War named "Tamo daleko".

Стари лажови и преваранти,били и остали.Вама само може.Бог помоћи.

Tesla was born during the AustroHungary period, hence not Croatian in any way

Tesla je bio hrvatskog porijekla a ne srpskog!

It is a pity that the Croats destroyed the house of Nikola Tesla, the church in Smiljan and blew up his monument in Gospić in 1992. The house was renovated in 2006 and the church in 2022. The monument was recast, but it was never returned to the city center where it was located before the blasting.

Никола Тесла је рођен у Смиљану,у Аустрији,јер хрватска тада није постојала.

Nikola Tesla was a Serb (a son of a Serbian Orthodox Church priest) born in Austro-Hungaria. The Croats murdered almost all of his relatives in the genocide during WW2 and tore down his birth house, destroyed his monument and burnt down his birth village in the nineties when they cleansed most of the Serbs from Serbian Kraina.

It's actually football, not soccer 🤓

That's is all Serbian Orthodox or Serbian Catholic don't lie people's Kosovo I Metohija Serbia ❤

to je zato, jer u srbiji ne postoji nitko vrijedan spomena, pa se bacaju na hrvate, a i tata od novaka đokovića je hrvat, al živi u srbiji pa je po tome srbin.

Vidi šta su se Srbosaurusi naprdili na ovaj video. Ova naša Hrvatska nevjesta je ovaj video napravila iz najbolje namjere. Vjerojatno nije očekivala koliko će se gnjoja nabaciti na nju iz istočnog Balkana.

Both Tesla and Bošković are Serbs. Bošković's father's name was Nikola, and they converted to Catholicism, because it allowed social mobility in the Catholic environment. And to be precise, Tesla could not have been born in Croatia, because Croatia did not exist then, but he was born in Austria-Hungary, and was a citizen of that country, he received a scholarship from kaiser Franz Joseph for his studies as a citizen, so no Croatia, and his parents his father and mother are pure Serbs, and his father is a Serbian Orthodox priest. Also, those Croats who declare him a Croat killed the entire family of Nikola Tesla from Lika, because they were Serbs, and they demolished the house where he was born.

You should have titled this video ,,Famous people around the World, who were born on territory of nowadays Croatia''. But, it would still have been irrelevant. People abroad could think that this people are somehow connected with modern Croatia. Nikola Tesla was Austrian Serb, and Dubrovnik had no connection with Croatia in 18. century.

Regarding Nikola Tesla. He was born in K und K monarchy (Austro-Hungarian monarchy) in Serbian village of Smiljan, today Croatia) in Serbian Orthodox family from both sides. His father was Serbian Orthodox priest. To make this short, whenever you turn the light on, turn your car on, put AC on, turn the heating on, board the plane…. say to yourself “thank you, Mr. Tesla”.

Ante Pavelic the most famous ww2 Nazi criminal. Do not ever mention NIKOLA TESLA, his father and grandfather were Orthodox priests , let’s not forget , Croatia did not exist when Tesla was born , it was the Austro Hungarian empire . So they can Los claim him as an Austrian or a Hungarian

There is a big lie about Tesla. He was born in Austro-Hungarian in ortodoks Serbian famili. His father was ortodoks prist. Tesla Nikola was Serb. All Tesla family was murded in Jasenovac concentration camp during ww2 by croatians because they were Serbs.

Many of these were born before Croatia existed. They were born in the Republic of Venice, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy... Also, many of them are not even of Croatian origin.

Ante Pavelić as well (actually in Herzegowina) a great Croat and a good catholic, probably the greates of all

Gluposti! Nikola Tesla nije rođen u Hrvatskoj nego u Austro-Ugarskoj. Kao kad bi se reklo da je imperator Konstantin Veliki, koji je ozvaničio hrišćanstvo kao zvaničnu religiju Rimskog carstva, rođen u Nišu, Srbija. Precizno bi bilo rečeno da je Tesla rođen u AU, na teritoriji koja je danas deo Hrvatske.

Nikola Tesla was born in Austro Hungary, his father was a Serbian Orthodox priest. He was a Serb.
