Tesla believed that war could not be avoided until the cause for its recurrence was removed, but was opposed to [[wikipedia:war|wars]] in general. He had inherited a hatred of war from his parents and homeland, and sought to end warfare systematically by devising protective measures that would prevent wars. He found exceptions and some justifiable situations where conflict was necessary. He envisioned wars of machines, not of humans, and of more terrible weapons in the future. He sought to reduce distance, such as in communication for better understanding, transportation, and transmission of energy, as a means to ensure friendly international relations. A system for "Projecting Concentrated Non-Dispersive Energy Through Natural Media" known as ''[[teleforce]]'' was reportedly developed later in his life. Teleforce was supposed to have been a type of defensive particle-beam weapon.
 
Like many of his era he developped a fondness for eugenics. The earliest clear instances of this are after his obsessive-compulsive disorder had become pronounced. In a curious 1926 interview he indicated humanity's future would be ran by "Queen Bee" like women who'd mate selectively.[http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/women.htm]. By February of 1935 he had a pro-eugenics article in ''Liberty'' which was edited by a friend named G. S. Viereck. In a 1937 interview near the end of his life he indicated that "A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal."[http://www.pbs.org/tesla/res/res_art11.html] Although Tesla was noted as an [[wikipedia:eccentriceccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] so some of these ideas are a little hard to place in any eugenicist school of thought.
