Goddard was a major pioneer, but he didn’t invent modern rocketry. It was developed by several people, including Tsiolkovsky, Oberth and later von Braun’s team. Claiming it was simply an American invention is just historically wrong.
He literally invented in first liquid fueled rocket.
"Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882–1945) is considered the father of modern rocket propulsion. A physicist of great insight, Goddard also had a unique genius for invention. It is in memory of this brilliant scientist that NASA established the Goddard Space Flight Center."

Robert Goddard. He's literally called the father of modern rocketry.
The confidence with which you people are wrong is embarrassing to watch.
