Where the English Wikipedia says this:
After his demonstration of wireless communication in 1893 and after
being the victor in the "War of Currents", he was widely respected as
America's greatest electrical engineer.

the German says this:
"Auf der Weltausstellung 1893 in Chicago bewies Teslas System, dass es
im großen Stil eingesetzt werden konnte und viel weniger
Leitungsverluste als Gleichstrom hatte, wofür die Transformierbarkeit
des Wechselstromes entscheidend war. Während dieses Wettbewerbs um das
bessere System wurde von den Befürwortern des Gleichstromes zu
Demonstrationszwecken der elektrische Stuhl mit Wechselstrom
betrieben, um jedem die Gefährlichkeit dieses Systemes vor Augen zu
führen. Aus Spott prägten die Gegner des Wechselstromes den Begriff to
be westinghoused."
