Well Brits, duh. I mean what would the Italians and the French do without this great British invention? Thanks to Portugal for the cork, too.

Italians win based on history points

Americans are great innovators, but inventors not so much. We are middle-tier.

Internal Combustion Engines
Invented by Barsanti & Matteucci through 1854-57, first ones to describe the principles of the free piston engine where the vacuum after the explosion allows atmospheric pressure to deliver the power stroke.

Modern Polymers
Invented by Giulio Natta in 1953. "Ziegler–Natta catalysts have been used in the commercial manufacture of various polyolefins since 1956. In 2010, the total volume of plastics, elastomers, and rubbers produced from alkenes with these and related catalysts worldwide exceeds 100 million metric tons".

Funny that you would post a picture of Otto Hahn as an argument, because he didn't invent anything, he accidentally discovered nuclear fission.
