I do agree with sibling post on the majority of prizes awarded to citizens of two countries. I was wondering how many of them (Einstein being an obvious example) were US citizens when the got the prize but were born elsewhere? "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled scientific geniuses"

Certainly this is the only reason Germany is behind the UK. They were somehow the centre of the scientific world despite their less-than-ideal political conditions and then they ran their own talent out of their country. (And then they lost the war and the superpowers came and took the remaining talent, which was still formidable)

Einstein go his Nobel prize in 1921 while moved to the US in 1933.

Based on this page, 110 out of 400 were born elsewhere (I searched for number of "born" entries) I can see some cases where they immigrated to the US at a young age so all their education was in the US. So another way to look at it would be where they got their college degree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_country#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_cou...

  There are a couple other non-American or dual citizenship people there, for example there are some marked with "Japanese citizenship" like Osamu Shimomura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Shimomura https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osamu_Shimomura
