Depends on your definition of space. Sputnik 1, launched by the USSR in 1957, was the first artificial object to orbit the Earth.
However, the first rocket to reach space was actually the German A-4, progenitor of the V-2 missile. The A-4, first tested in 1942, could reach 128 miles above sea level, well above international or American standards for space flight (100 kilometers and 50 miles, respectively).
