[Bahaman]

Lots of German nobel prize winners are Jews. Brits contributed the most without a doubt.

France is often underrated though considering they are on par with both Germans and Brits.

[Bloody]

France = Philosophy and Arts. Socialism

GErmanic = Mechanical engineering, social pregressivism, military.

UK = Biology/Science , Literarure.

They all did great contributions in different fields , so Its hard to determine who did the most.

PD: Italy could be included in the poll aswell.

[Bahaman]

Germans excelled in every field but Brits as a whole contributed much more.

[Dani Cutie]

And greece/anatolia?
