Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was an immigrant that fled to America from Germany in hopes of escaping the war. Unlike most immigrants during the early 1900’s, Einstein was actually assisted by the United Sates Government, so that they could use his superior knowledge of physics to help aid them in the war. Einstein agreed to help end the conflict, and assisted in the building of the Atom bomb, which in many respects ended the war. Thanks to Albert Einstein many parents at the time where inspired by his genius and began to try and search for possible prodigies in there own children, and thus raising the standards for American education.
