Careful. A German invented the car, a Englishman invented the computer (although an American did build the first turing complete all-electronic computer), silicon is an element discovered in Sweden, a Canadian invented the pace maker, Pacman was written by a Japanese guy, and I have no idea who invented "bread with no crust" but an American did invent sliced bread.
