      Depending om what you mean by “inventing synthetic fertilizer”, couldn’t the invention be either Norwegian (Birkeland-Eyde), German (Haber), or English (Thomas)?

        Haber, he is generally credited with creating the process. Also mustard gas.

          Yeah, obviously Haber is credited with creating the Haber process. As for inventing synthetic fertilizer, I’m going for it being a Norwegian invention with the Birkeland-Eyde process.

            I guess this is a matter of inventing it on a base level and making it worthwhile. Just cause ya domesticated the horse doesnt mean ya can ride it.
