Americans Were Asked To Place European Countries On A Map. Here’s What They Wrote:

The phone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, who was born in Scotland. World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, he is from the United Kingdom. The computer was invented by Charles Babbage, who was also English. Mechanical machines can be attributed to many ancient peoples, such as the Greeks, but it was Thomas Savery who invented the first commercially successful Steam Engine, he was English. Cars were invented by Karl Benz, a German. Enrico Fermi, an Italian physicist, led the team of scientists who created the first self- sustaining nuclear chain reaction. The man who got the USA on the moon was Werner von Braun, a German. You have humiliated yourself.

The US did not invent all of the modern technology used today. It is not agreed on who invented cars, but most people credit Karl Benz, who was German. Henry Ford may have improved cars later on, but did not invent them. Computers were also invented by a German engineer. Also, most Europeans can locate at least a few of the major states of the US. But how many Americans do you think can even NAME just ONE state of Austria? Or a county of Norway?

Lord, even every Russian schoolchild knows about all the countries in the world. You are just stupid

states aren't countries, americans can't pin point north korea....

when i was in school i was able to actually name you every single state from USA and its capital and also pin point them on the map because North American Geography was actually an entire quarter in 8th grade.

What if I'd tell you that Romania for example (that most of the quiz participants had no clue about it whereabouts) has 41 states? Anyway, do you even know the US neighbors? seriously ask yourself that :)

Lt Darkstar are you just seriously said that? there is a different between a nation and a state, they remember your country's name, they may did poorly in labeling states in the US but at least they know some thing, even a bit. can you name any state of any country in Europe without google it.

What if I told you that Europeans know much more about geography than Americans ?

1334 years ago my country Bulgaria was made with a name ;) Since 681. And of course nobody will ever know about this part of the world, we r NOT in Europe, we r Balkan countries. We r barbarians and full of s**t /I mean bulgarian people/ so dont be so surprise that people doesnt know about Bulgaria.. We r about to vanish very soon.. And the ather thing is that Americans still learning only about their country in school, they r too nationalists but America is full of immigrantс, native americans are rare breed...

J. Boyle, as one of 7 billion people, you serve no purpose to anyone too. Good day, useless person!

Dropkick, you obviously don't know much about the American school system. I went to a small country school, and we learned all about Europe and surround countries, even had to label countries, rivers, mountains. Get over yourself. Your media has brainwashed you much like the rest of the world. And yes, we don't know where you are, and don't really care because your country serves no purpose in this world. Good day.
