Bell "Invents" The TelephoneThis Week in HistoryAlexander Graham Bell claims to have invented the telephone, but did he?


 


In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first call on an electromagnetic telephone he had built, and went on to make a fortune after claiming his telephone was an original invention. Evidence 1 now suggests, however, that Italian inventor Antonio Meucci had already invented the electromagnetic telephone in 1871. Meucci couldn't find the money to develop his invention though, and it was soon forgotten after Bell announced his own "invention". In 2001 the U.S. Congress 2 passed a resolution 3 recognizing "the contributions of Antonio Meucci in the invention of the telephone".
