Now, back to your theory that English speaking Europeans living in the Old World invented the skyscraper, the nuclear reactor, the airplane, the automobile, etc.
They didn't.
Elwood Haynes invented the automobile in Indiana. The Wright Brothers grew up in Indiana and invented the airplane in Ohio. Dr. Geiger invented the geiger counter in Indiana (thereby making it possible to find radioactive materials to touch off the nuclear age).
Getting real narrowly defined here, and noting that the first skyscraper was built in Chicago, I'd say that EVERYTHING worth having in the modern world was invented in a small part of the world where the dominant language was German, and it wasn't in Europe.
Groovy. Quote them.
That's interesting.
Who constituted the Mexican population at the time of the coming of the Spanish?

What?!?
Karl Benz' Motorwagen was being commercially produced in 1886, eight years before Haynes produced his first car.
Elwood Haynes invented an automobile in Indiana. Karl Benz invented the first automobile in Germany.
Dr. Geiger invented the geiger counter in Indiana (thereby making it possible to find radioactive materials to touch off the nuclear age).
Erlangen, Manchester, Berlin, Keil, Tuebingen. When was Hans Geiger in Indiana?
