Who invented the Morse Code?
The original Morse Code was invented by the American Samuel Morse, who lived from 1791 to 1872. And here it is, just for the fun of it:

and the numbers

Which Morse Code? There are TWO Morse Codes, the American Morse and the International Morse.
Samual Morse invented and developed the AMERICAN Morse code because it was the most usable with the telegraph units in use at that time.
Prior to World War 2, the Military developed the International Morse Code because they needed something that was more melodic when used on CW Radio transmissions and lended itself to the use of sidetones.
The two codes are NOT exchangable.

While a professor of arts and design at New York University in 1835, Samuel Morse proved that signals could be transmitted by wire. He used pulses of current to deflect an electromagnet, which moved a marker to produce written codes on a strip of paper - the invention of Morse Code. The following year, the device was modified to emboss the paper with dots and dashes. He gave a public demonstration in 1838, but it was not until five years later that Congress (reflecting public apathy) funded $30,000 to construct an experimental telegraph line from Washington to Baltimore, a distance of 40 miles
