Everything.
That's right, America invented everything, that matters
Except America, which was invented by the English.
Actually it was invented by colonists, 'MERICAN COLONISTS. Who gained independence from the British with the victory of the Revolutionary War, thereby creating America.

Not really an invention, but interesting to note.
My country reinvented cholera after it was all but considered extinct.
How many of you can guess where I'm from?

Ermm... England has made lots of stuff, but I cant think of anything...

Ermm... Scotch Eggs they where actually invented in London in 1851 (I only know that due to the weebl video...)
Heavy Metal.
I'm in Australia, i got nothing... We're responsible for the books of Matthew Reilly. Does that count? Australians did "invent" him.
EDIT: Found a few, but it is wikipedia, so I don't know how accurate it is.
1906 - Feature film - The world's first feature length film, The Story of the Kelly Gang, was a little over an hour long.
1902 - Notepad - For 500 years, paper had been supplied in loose sheets. Launceston stationer J.A. Birchall decided that it would be a good idea to cut the sheets into half, back them with cardboard and glue them together at the top.
1965 - Wine cask - Invented by Thomas Angove of Renmark, South Australia, the wine cask is a cardboard box housing a plastic container which collapses as the wine is drawn off, thus preventing contact with the air. Angroves' original design with a resealable spout was replaced with a tap by the Penfolds wine company in 1972
1979 - Digital sampler - The Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument) was the first polyphonic digital sampling synthesizer. It was designed in 1979 by the founders of Fairlight, Peter Vogel and Kim Ryrie in Sydney, Australia.
1874 - Underwater torpedo - Invented by Louis Brennan, the torpedo had two propellers, rotated by wires which were attached to winding engines on the shore station. By varying the speed at which the two wires were extracted, the torpedo could be steered to the left or right by an operator on the shore.
Where would this world be without the wine cask?...

No.
Think Third-world country. Our 'President' is Uncle Bob.
That probably won't help.

Britain : Invented the USA and helped in the creation of Canada. Thought I'd help the Brits
