How did Germany in the 1920s with their isolation and poverty become the leaders of Quantum theory? I contend that Max Planck influenced German science and forged friendships with Bohr to be at the center of this revolution in science.
(Small correction: Hermann Planck was born in November of 1911 not 1914, so he was 2 years old when World War 1 started, not in utero)
