Where is jamaica?

Vodka, but bulletproof vest and mine detector also deserve a mention

>went to the moon
>46% of the world's inventions
>defeated communism and Nazism
>invented nuclear weapons and nuclear power

America:
- Put a man on the moon, dominated the inevitable flight towards the "final frontier" and leading the mars colonization.
- Gave the world jazz, hip hop, and rock and roll.
- Revolutionized warfare and military technological advancements, especially the American favorite, stealth technology.

>Put a man on the moon
LOL, you have to explain why this is so important.

>Dominated the inevitable flight towards the "final frontier"
LOL, no the Russians had the first man in orbit, the russians beat you at every step including carry out the race longer, all you did was go to the moon, fucking nice.

>and leading the mars colonization.
LOL, you mean Mars One, a company founded in the Netherlands?

>Gave the world jazz, hip hop, and rock and roll.
Fucking LOL.

>Revolutionized warfare and military technological advancements, especially the American favorite, stealth technology.

Eh, okay. But you have lost almost every single engagement you have ever fought. Fuck off already.

146%*

Mars One, LOL. We're talking about SpaceX, the American company. "[Helping] humanity establish a permanent, self-sustaining colony on Mars within the next 50 to 100 years". The Mars One mission has been called out repeatedly for not having the technology, the money, or a realistic plan to get people to Mars and keep them alive once they’re there.

The US has the biggest budget for spaceexploration by far,spendingover six times more than China, according to OECD figures. "From the first moon landing to the International SpaceStation, the US government agency NASA has been leadingspace exploration since its creation in 1958". If that's not DOMINATING I don't know what is.

Lego, I guess
And the Niels Bohr atom thing
Maybe C++, that was a countryman as well

>LOL, no the Russians had the first man in orbit, the russians beat you at every step including carry out the race longer, all you did was go to the moon, fucking nice.
Yeah and Russia failed at that because they were a poor backwards shithole that only got to space first because they were hiding their progress. Once sputnik was launched and they revealed their progress, the US closed the gap pretty easily and to this day Russia hasn't done anything remotely close to say Apollo 11 or Curiosity

>LOL, you mean Mars One, a company founded in the Netherlands?
>implying they're doing anything NASA or their contractors haven't yet, or are even a realistic project

>Fucking LOL.
>being this much of a pleb to not be able to appreciate jazz

>Eh, okay. But you have lost almost every single engagement you have ever fought. Fuck off already.
We've won almost every "engagement" retard, its just the wars as a whole drag on and have no clear objectives.

Jackass, Space X doesn't have the legal right to colonize mars, the outer space treaty explictly states no person is allowed to claim any part of space, meaning that for spacex to enforce any rules or regulation they'd need to establish themselves as a new soviergn nation, and considering literally all of their capital is on earht they're fucked six ways from sunday.

USA

1. Enslaved the negro
2. Commit massive genocide on the Indians
3. Bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki

>1. Enslaved the metro
civil rights movement
>2. Commit massive genocide on the Indians
Inexcusable, I admit.
>3. Bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Global. Military. Superiority.

This is my best things the US has done list.

1. Broke all treaties with native americans.
2. Elected Dubya
3. Became the first nation to turn citizens into walking whales.

Brazil... well... uhmm...

Give us some more time

you gave us a ton of great football players.

I didn't know that Russia invented the bullet proof vest and mine detector

great asses

Russia didn't invent vodka.

yes it did :)

Africa:
Egypt :^)

A bit over the top but pic related.

Also exporting a lot of food, on huge interest-free loans to the Allies in both world wars. And giving shelter to hundreds of thousands of Jews escaping from the Holocaust and East European pogroms, and other millions of Euro immigrants escaping Europe's wars.

That's about it.

Almost always been the good guys since the 17th century.

The only reason why the Soviet Union made the first strides in the space race was because there was no upper limit on sovereign airspace. The US let the Soviets get up there first to set a precedent in case people got upset.

Biro was Hungarian, invented the BPpen in 1931 and patented it in '38 in Paris.

wasn't until 1942 he moved to Argentina and filed a US patent

Not even 1/3rd of european ones

You should do a Hungarian one. I was surprised to find out they had lots of talented scientists.

Please, this is absolutely garbage infograph.

Still better than OP's empty claim tho

hahaha good one

it's funny when you fags always argue this
>90% of the war was fought without america
Yeah and guess who finished the 10%? Nobody gives a fuck about the guys who scored the first 100 points in a basketball game, they care about the guy who scored the buzzer-beater, because he secured the win. Without him the team would've lost

Didn't Biro's first ballpoint patent fail because the ink was too thick or something like that?

Didn't Biro's first ballpoint patent fail because the ink was too thick or something like that?

He patented and manufactured his fist successful design in Argentina partnering up with Meyne, that's when the RAF gave them a contract to manufacture pens for their pilots.

Later, at the end of the war, BIC bought their design and patented worldwide.

preach nigga

modern hand grenade, land mine and some fertilizer thing, legit the first europeans to reach america (but that didnt really matter)

>LOL, you have to explain why this is so important.

How is putting a human being on another celestial object not an accomplishment?

>LOL, no the Russians had the first man in orbit, the russians beat you at every step including carry out the race longer, all you did was go to the moon, fucking nice.

And yet the USSR doesn't even exist anymore, let alone its space program...

>LOL, you mean Mars One, a company founded in the Netherlands?

How uninformed are you? Mars One has been pretty much confirmed to be a scam at this point. Do you even know who Elon Musk is? His SpaceX company has made massive leaps in rocket engineering over the past few years.

>Fucking LOL.

And what music has your shit country ever produced?

Why do pseuds pretend jazz is some haute patrician music when it's literally just random noises produced by illiterate negroids? It's literally the hip hop of pre-WW2 era.

Got a citation for that?

I'll definitely give you parliamentary democracy, though.

oi listen here you little shit.

we civilized europe

daily reminder that if your countrymen did most of their research and accomplishments in the US, then they aren't your country's accomplishments

Civilized that Iberian shithole under Islamic rule

Ireland:
Submarine
Ejector seat
Bacon (the specific cut of meat loved worldwide in breakfasts)
The flavoured potato chip
Car bombs
Colour photography
Modern tractor
The Tank (arguably British but the designer was a dubliner)
Guided missiles

You forgot cold chocolate milk

All of those while Ireland was Great Britain.

I thought colour photography was Maxwell, a Scot.

I think it's cool. I don't personally listen to it, but improv is an awesome show of skill, wit, speed. Adding musical instruments and having a group of people make music together with no rules or constraints. It's as American as something can be. I'm not saying it's good music, that's subjective, and I don't personally like it. But you gotta admit, that's badass

OP here: the 54% thing was something i saw a while back about a study by MITI in Japan in 2008 saying about countries contributions to the world in notable inventions. I can't remember sauce and it probably is stretched. I reckon UK still takes top spot for most inventions though unlikely to be that high. UK Inventors/scientists include:
>Isembard Kingdom Brunel
>Michael Faraday
>Alexander Graham Bell
>James Watt
>James Clerk Maxwell
>Isaac Newton
>George Stephenson
>Charles Babbage
Etc.

>46% of the world's innovations

>defeated communism and Nazism
Communism killed itself, but only after killing Nazism
>invented nuclear weapons and nuclear power

>In October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II in Europe, the President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt received a letter from physicist Albert Einstein and his Hungarian colleague Leo Szilard, calling to his attention the prospect that a bomb of unprecedented power could be made by tapping the forces of nuclear fission. The two scientists, who had fled from Europe in order to escape Nazism, feared that Hitler-Germany was already working on the problem. Should the Germans be the first to develop the envisaged "atomic bomb," Hitler would have a weapon at his disposal that would make it possible for him to destroy his enemies and rule the world.

Literally the only reason nukes were made in the US is because intelligent Europeans fled from strong European powers. Get fucked, americunt

Who gives a fuck

How can someone be so fucking delusional?

Britain:

- Invented the television, telephone, world wide web, jet engine, steam engine, hydraulic press, stainless steel, waterproof fabric, incandescent lightbulb, marine chronometer, modern cement, and the chocolate bar
- Developed the world's first railways
- The industrial revolution
- The agricultural revolution
- The Theories of Gravity, Evolution, Electromagnetism and Aerodynamics
- Discovery of more elements than any other nation
- Discovery of the neutron and electron
- Splitting of the atomic nucleus
- The English language
- Most major sports, including association football, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, golf, curling, lawn bowls, tennis, table tennis, squash, badminton, hockey, darts, snooker and water polo
- Christianisation of [parts of] Germany and the Benelux through Anglo-Saxon missionaries
- Insular art
- The largest Empire in the history of the world
- Blockade of Africa

What a fine nation we truly are

Vietnam: pissed off a bunch of superpower and still alive

>parliamentary democracy
>a good thing

It's funny that you didn't argue his claim about music, when those will probably be the longest lasting achievements or creations by the USA

Britain created a lot of bad ass shit but its greatest invention is America

>Why do pseuds pretend jazz is some haute patrician music when it's literally just random noises produced by illiterate negroids? It's literally the hip hop of pre-WW2 era.
Jazz, like hip-hop, is both fun and impressive when done well and some plebian's cherrypick when it isn't.

>Only because of a dick-measuring contest with the communists, NASA literally has to beg Congress for funding nowadays

And it still gets more funding than any other space agency, by far.

>"Breaking news, rich country can support innovative movements and markets"
You can discredit this entire thread this way. There's a reason why the US and Europe have so many accomplishments

>Communism killed itself, but only after killing Nazism

It would have taken Europe over from the Nazis if the US wasn't there, not like the Brits could have done anything about it.

>Literally the only reason nukes were made in the US is because intelligent Europeans fled from strong European powers.

I'm not sure if you understand what the US is.

We nuked the japs. Twice. You're welcome world.

Why are people trying to dismantle every American's claim. They have done a lot of great things such as spreading English as a global trade language, creating the Internet, setting a model presidential government and of course going to the moon. Just because they're rich is no reason to put them down as that is also something to be proud of.
