The Persian Empire was one of the most mysterious civilizations in the ancient world. Persia became an empire under the Cyrus the Great, who created a policy of religious and cultural tolerance that became the hallmark of Persian rule. Engineering feats include an innovative system of water management; a cross-continent paved roadway stretching 1500 miles; a canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea; and the creation of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Mausoleum of Maussollos. The rivalry between Persia and Athens led to a 30-year war known as the Persian Wars, the outcome of which helped create the world we live in today. Peter Weller hosts.

Are you some sort of idiot or something? I doubt that many scientists actually financed themselves to their projects... And without Einstein, what would the States even know what to spend the money in? USA didn't really become a super-power until after WWII. Remember, that just before it entered the war, it was going though the great depression.

It was really Russia that turned the tide; after the battle of Stalingrad Germany was no longer seen as invincible and so the United States joined, knowing it had nothing to lose.

Who spent billions of dollars of financing on the nuclear bomb? Albert Einstein? He was important, but it's not like he made the bomb all by himself.

Must I say, Albert Einstein? Where did he come from? Ehum.. yes.. Europe. (And btw, Albert Einstein's E=mc2 lead to the nuclear bomb, if you didn't know)
