What country was the first to make a smokeless powder bolt action rifle and what was the name of that rifle?
EcclesJordanTrigger
France invented the first production smokeless powder, Poudre B, in 1884. (There were experiments clear back to 1846.) I believe Mauser, in Germany, came out with a single-shot bolt-action 10 mm in 1888 that used Poudre B. Austria also produced rifles to use it the same year.
France is generally credited with the first smokeless powder military rifle in the Fusil Mle 1886 M93. Known as the Lebel for short.

Did the British steal all the gun powder from the Americans?
I doubt it the united kingdom industrialized before america IMPROVEMENT I understand the question is focused on the first British military action happened in 1774 to deprive the Americans patriots of gun powder. On Sept. 1, 1774 a British Task Force managed to take possession of the gun powder stored in the Powder House, located about 1 mile from Winter Hill in modern-day Somerville, Massachusetts. Thanks to the fact that the British were given the keys of the depot by Sheriff David Phips all the powder was secretly removed after sunrise and took to Boston.

Is gun powder a compound or mixture?
Many people confuse gunpowder and black powder. Both of them are mixtures, although gunpowder, also known as smokeless powder, was 100% nitrocellulose, a compound, when it was first used in the mid 1800's. Black powder is a very intimate mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal. Smokeless powders today get their energy when burned from 100% nitrocellulose to mostly nitroglycerine. Most smokeless powders obtain their energy from a mixture of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. However, even smokeless powders made today with pure nitrocellulose are still a mixture because manufacturers add other compounds to the powder to reduce the muzzle flash, stabilize the burning rate, slow the decomposition of the powder and to neutralize any corrosive acids formed from the powder's decomposition.
