IT'S TIME!

Watch the fireworks

With the "geographically closer" logic, Madeira and the Canary islands are in fact Moroccan, Malta is Italian and the entire city of Kobenhavn is Swedish.

Once again, W logic guys.

Malta IS Independent.

Sorry that's what I tried to say.

I'm helping you out here, fellow tea-drinker, back me up!

You don't say.

I do.(P.S. LOS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS!!!)

"Oh but they're closer to Argentina than-"

SHUT UP FAM

Then in that case, Jersey and Guernsey are French, Sicily is Tunisian and Greenland is Canadian.

W logic right there guys

Don’t

They Einstein invented most of the technology for the nuclear bomb. I don’t even think he invented very much technology, his main achievements were in his ingenious theories, not trinkets… His theories don’t tell you how to build a bomb that splits atoms and doesn’t mess up or blow up easily or kill you or 1000 other things. It’s like saying Newton is responsible for making planes because he invented many of the laws of physics!

Although Einstein discovered many laws of astrophysics and disprove many of Newton's, which you seem to refer to as a generic 'physics,' Einstein did also discover many of the laws of nuclear physics. He gave his discoveries away to the allies after fears that the nazies would be able to create an atomic bombs. As for your statement that his theories don't tell one how to build an atomic bomb in a way that doesnt 'mess up', I think that the calculations of the output of the splitting of the atom would be very helpful in not 'messing up.' Finally your arguement that Newton is responsible for the invention of the aircraft because he discovered many of the laws of physics is defunct because, although he did make some contribution to physics as a feild, they were not directly related to the invention of the aircraft, and his discoveries did not increase the attainability of the technology allowing flight by so large an amount as Einstein did with Atomics, making Newton far less responsible for flight than Einstein for atomics

This source is made up of various different sources:

http://www.doug-long.com/einstein.htm#:~:text=Einstein%20biographer%20Ronald%20Clark%20has,on%20Japan%20(Clark%2C%20pg.

To make it simple, the consensus was that his greatest contribution was writing a letter to FDR convincing him to build it. It also talks about British research, which only convinced the US that they COULD make a bomb and to accelerate their efforts.

Here is another source:

“Albert Einstein had a part in alerting the United States government to the possibility of building an atomic bomb, but his theory of relativity is not required in discussing fission.”

https://gizmodo.com/if-einstein-had-never-been-born-would-we-still-have-nu-1597200914#:~:text=Albert%20Einstein%20had%20a%20part,not%20required%20in%20discussing%20fission.

His theories were not directly required to make a fission bomb, his work was not single handedly needed to do so.

This next source seems to be calling you out…

“The way I like to put it is this: E=mc² tells you about as much about an atomic bomb as Newton’s laws do about ballistic missiles.“

https://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2014/06/27/bomb-without-einstein/

Again, here it goes ever harder, saying that he had NO contribution at all other than his letter.

Need a few more?

A bunch of random internet dudes in Reddit don’t think he was needed. It’s… Reddit… but I mean there you go.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/28yqky/was_einsteins_theory_of_relativity_necessary_for/

This source doesn’t feel the most credible looking at it… but it also argues the same thing.

Ok, I really think that settles it. The consensus after research seems even more anti-Einstein making the bomb than I first thought. One of the sources even says it’s the same as saying newton made missiles… Even disregarding all of this, he was in the US at this time, so any work he did would be for the US and for its credit as well anyway? German rocket scientists after ww2 worked on US spaceships, but do we say Germany brought humanity to the moon? Only partly. In this case it’s even less. The only thing outside forces did was convince the US to build the bomb. Einstein quickly ended up standing against it, and was too much of a pacifist to be allied to work on it. American scientists like Oppenheimer, Engineers, resources and land was used to build it, therefore the US gets credit for the Bombs invention. I don’t think I’ve ever defended the US in my life more than now… you made me a patriot, you Donking fool!

The only reason why Argentina has a claim to the Falklands is because the Argentinian government in the 1980s (who, by the way, were a good old human rights abusin', free speech restrictin' dictatorship) invaded the Falklands as a quick, winnable war in light of dwindling public support.

They LOST.

Just because you tried to annex some territory doesn't make it yours, I am extremely confused by the Argentinian narrative on this.
