Who Invented the Television, Where Was it Invented, and What Year Was it Invented?

I need to find out who really invented the television...there's this argument between Philo Farnsworth and John Logie Baird inventing it but I'm not sure which one really invented it. And also, where was it invented and what year was it invented in.

A man by the name of Philo T. Farnsworth invented the television. He then began working for RCA and after his patent had expired during WWII, RCA patented their television from work Farnsworth had done with others.

Not too long ago RCA admitted that it had infringed on Farnsworths patent and settled with the Surviving Farnsworth Family.

John Logie Baird is usally credited as the first. he gave the first demonstration of a television image in 1926. The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) adopted his system at first, but it was abandoned in 1936 in favour of a more efficient system.

However, in 'made In america' Bill Bryson writes:

'Unlike other technologies television was the result of work by numerous inventors in different places - herbert Ives, charles Jenkins and philo T. Fransworth in America, John Logie Baird in Britain, Boris Rosing in russia. The first working television - that is one that broadcast something more profound than sillhouettes and shadows - was demonstrated by Charles Jenkins in Washington in 1925. Baird, a Scotsman, demonstrated a similar model, but with sound, four months later.'

So it seems that there is some room for doubt as to whether it was Charles Jenkins or John Logie Baird who got there first.
