Atomic bomb: Albert Einstein/Niels Bohr (The USA just build it with these guys help). Cars: Leonardo Da Vinci & Isaac Newton but a frenchguy made the first one. Steam Engine: A british guy. Railroad: A German guy. Steamtrain: An american guy.Leonardo was also among one of the first to come up with the idea of a machine that can fly but 2 american brothers made the first one to work. (They didn't get much credit for it in their time though)Could probably go on. Even such a simple thing as the scanner system wasn't invented in the USA.You can read about the histories of inventions on this side:<a href="http://inventors.about.com/library/bl/bl12.htm?PM=ss13_inventors" target="_blank">http://inventors.about.com/library/bl/bl12.htm?PM=ss13_inventors</a>You see, when it comes to inventions countries don't take credit. Individuals do.</blockquote>
