XOXOXOXOXOXOXO I said name things the British DIDN'T invent...half the stuff you put down was invented by the British. That's not helpful.

Yeah thanks, the link is in Spanish,
My question is vague and i've left it wide open for debate. I just wanted to see how people would react, but it seems people have better things to do for now.

I wasn't going to add to this post but you are a moron!
The INTERNET was invented by a British person as was PASTA. COMMUNISM is also British. And for the earlier morons...The telephone is British,Sandwiches AND the lightbulb are British. I can't be bothered anymore, But I really could go on correcting you all. As the British are a modest people, you might have got the wrong impression. You have been lied to by your respective countries. We'll leave it at that. Bye.

Gunpowder, printing, fireworks, special fried rice, soccer, geisha girls, bowing to everyone, Forbidden Temple, Junks, Mousy-Tongues, A big wall, to many Wongs and hardly any Wights, binoculars, balloons, Shanghai, Kabuki, nice silk pijamas, dignity and respect, anti-colonialism, mega-trade routes, and pretty much everything else the Brits didn't invent. Good Old China.

It's not my country but missiles are not a british invention but a german one. Also many of the "british inventions" are indeed adaptations from ideas of other countrymen. And before the industrial revolution most inventive came from the Dutch, the Germans and Italians. Before that from Arabs, Central ASia and China. And in the modern world many Third World universities produce inventions, however lack of money makes them sell their invention, commonly to transnational companies (more able to put them in work). Thus it seems like the modern inventions are mostly from Anglo-American companies.
And about my country, Mexico, Luis E. Miramon created the molecule of the first anticonceptive pill in the world, norestisterone.
