America developed the worlds first Atomic Bomb, i highly doubted they shared the designs with the USSR but they made their own as well.
Well, funny thing about that, they sort of did... well, several people shared US technical information on atomic weaponry with the USSR.
While the Soviets were on track to develope the weapons anyway, this information did allow them to fast track several areas and skip some trial and error the Manhattan Project had to go through.
Still, the point does stand, just look at the number of other countries that have had successful nuclear weapons programs - India, Pakistan, the joint British-Australian program, the joint Israel-South Africa program, China, Brazil, France, mayyyybe North Korea.
so why couldnt europe develope something similar to the F.E.V?
I believe the canon answer is that Europe bombed itself to buggery.
