Can you identify the country where each of these inventors or scientists was born? These people are not necessarily the first to discover or invent the item(s) stated but they are perhaps the things for which they are most well-known.
The country of birth is not necessarily their nationality or the place where they did the work for which they're known.
The modern day countries are used for the places of their birth. It may have been different when they were born.
