Test your knowledge of these famous Americans! Don't Google the answers.
America is the greatest country in the world, despite a certain POTUS' attempts to demean and ridicule it. As the coming years will prove, she is greater than the mere sum of her parts and certainly any single individual, no matter how powerfully stupid.

Her relatively short history is littered with shining examples of outstanding individuals, especially in the fields of knowledge and entrepreneurship.

But did you know that 30% of US-based Nobel Laureates were immigrants, or the children of at least one? More than 40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by such Americans. Let's see if you know their countries of origin, or what they achieved.

Finished? Look at the answers -- as you can see, America truly is a haven for great minds and talent from all over the world!
