The War of the Currents refers to the late 19th-century conflict between two competing electrical systems for power distribution: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). This rivalry was primarily characterized by the efforts of Thomas Edison, who promoted direct current through his company, and Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, who advocated for alternating current.
