Which European nation produced the most inventors of new technology?

Question

can you prove it?

Answer 1

For the size of its population, it has to be Scotland.

If you then consider inventions worldwide, there is probably also a significant percentage from people of Scottish descent.

Answer 2

Germany

Germany has been the home of some of the most prominent researchers in various scientific fields.[57] The work of Albert Einstein and Max Planck was crucial to the foundation of modern physics, which Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger developed further.[58] They were preceded by such key physicists as Hermann Von Helmholtz, Joseph Von Fraunhofer, and Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, among others. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays, an accomplishment that made him the first winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.[59] Heinrich Rudolf Hertz's work in the domain of electromagnetic radiation were pivotal to the development of modern telecommunication.[60] Wilhelm Wundt is credited with the establishment of psychology as an independent empirical science through his construction of the first laboratory at the University of Leipzig in 1879.[61] Alexander von Humboldt's work as a natural scientist and explorer was foundational to biogeography.[62] Numerous important mathematicians were born in Germany, including Gauss, Hilbert, Riemann, Weierstrass and Weyl. Germany has been the home of many famous inventors and engineers, such as Johannes Gutenberg, who is credited with the invention of movable type printing in Europe; Hans Geiger, the creator of the Geiger counter; and Konrad Zuse, who built the first computer.[63] German inventors, engineers and industrialists such as Zeppelin, Daimler, Diesel, and Benz helped shape modern automotive and air transportation technology.[64][65]

Answer 3

Egyptian women human beings ought to no longer bypass with the crew and attempt to make themselves lighter. persist consisting of your darkish pores and skin, you're alluring. i do not imagine I actually have ever considered an gruesome Egyptian woman, they have a intense high quality that's unusual. alluring eyes, brown pores and skin. I married an Egyptian 3 weeks in the past, and he's basic brown. yet on the elements receives hotter he receives darker, lol. So he has 3 shades to his pores and skin. I tell him he's multi colored, lol. i'm hoping to get him for the time of to uk sometime next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and he stated that once he receives right here he will be really basic. yet i do not care what coloration he's, i appreciate him for his humorous personality and for being him. Egyptians shouldn't comply with media needs. And the television shows ought to start up utilizing those with darker skins. at the same time as i become in Egypt earlier this month, I watch some previous video clips, and that i did word that they were almost westernised contained in the exterior coloration of the actresses, so this isn't some thing new because the films were made contained in the 80's. and that i do not trust that youngsters right here should be spending time less than solar beds attempting to get a brown tan, they are putting themselves in probability merely to seem strong on the sea coast. stay Egyptian, that's a thanks to be. you're tremendous those with tremendous personalities and extremely welcoming. it is your astounding asset, no longer the colour of your pores and skin.

Answer 4

Probably either the British or the Ancient Greeks. The Romans mostly used the inventions of other nations. For example a legionary used a gladius sword as his main weapon - these were a Spanish invention.
The Greeks invented hundreds of things such as the water-hose, iron welding, most forms of poetry, clockwork mechanisms, the water screw, leverage, the principle of water displacement, the analogue computer (I kid you not - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism ), the fire thrower, the steam engine!, the pneumatic ram, the hydraulic piston, the vending machine! and so many more things.
The Greek inventor Hero of Alexandria devised a 10 minute play performed by robotic actors (done with pulleys and levers).

Answer 5

I would guess the Brits in the form of the Scots. The reason being is that the UK has had more freedom than other European countries. The government are now making sure that this comes to an end but Scotland will go on being inventive by going it alone

Answer 6

Can't prove it now, but it is obviously between the Romans and the British.

Frog below reinforces my point. All the Scottish inventions plus about three English ones = British, LOL.

And Monkey Man makes a good point about the Romans. I'll change "Romans" to "Greeks". It was certainly not the Germans or the French.

Answer 7

France, see pictures, radiophones and radar sets for example. They were produced in France first. Some other scientists made innovations or modified their own experiences upon contact and methods created in advance, as Italy, Hungary and Ukraine. Count is some 38% of european inventions.
On a general count, it comes to France again, with 2,7% of european inventions. Others are Egipt and Iran with 3% each, followed by Brasil and Peru with 2,9% each. Some radio, electric, aviation and especially medicine innovations and inventions were set exactly in these countries amidst all. See for yourself. Bye.

Answer 8

I believe it is a toss up between England and Scotland.Both have numerous inventions credited to them but I wouldnt like to try counting them up.Per head of population it would be Scotland.
