The french, believe it or not, developed some neat stuff in the early 1900's. They had the most advanced tanks, the best howitzers, I think they had some good innovations in aircraft, too.

I also want to say they developed front wheel drive, independent suspension, monocoque construction..., the food is pretty good too.
