Does the Linux kernel count? The very first versions where released while Linus Torvalds still studied in Finland.

I’ve looked into some things I could think of, and alot of them are partially invented by Americans or the first viable design was patented by an American…

For example: The interaction of light hitting something an creating electricity was first observed by someone from France, but the first viable design of a solar panel was patented by an American.

Similar for carbon fibers, or handheld power drills. Computer tomography was first realized by two people, one of them African-American.

Or the things where invented more than 100 years ago. (Cars, for example)
