Assuming that by "his country" you mean Germany where he was born, his father's business failed in 1894, and his family moved to Italy. Albert initially got left behind Munich to complete secondary school, but in the spring of 1895, he dropped out and briefly joined his family in Italy. A few months later, his father sent him to a school in Switzerland, which he did complete in 1896, then renounced his German citizenship to avoid draft and went on to attend college in Zurich. In 1901, he received Swiss citizenship.

Einstein was a professor at the University of Berlin when Hitler came to power. Aware of the anti-Semitic policies of the Nazi party, he quietly removed his family to the U.S. where he began teaching at Princeton. All his fears of Nazi persecution of Jews and intellectuals were soon proved horribly correct.
