When was the sub machine gun invented?

1919, after WWI.

E. Owen Evelyn (Evo) Owen invented the Owen Machine Carbine in 1939.

The first practical sub machine gun used in combat was the Bergman MP18, from Germany. As the name indicates, it dates from 1918. See the link below for more information.

A sub-machine gun fires pistol cartridges. A machine gun fires rifle rounds.

Generally, a sub-machine gun fires a handgun round and a machine gun fires a rifle round.

Yes. A sub machine gun is a machine gun that fires pistol rounds and Uzis are 9mm.

The .45 Thompson sub-machine gun and M3 sub machine gun (grease gun) were used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam War. A sub-machine gun is called a SUB machine gun because it uses "pistol" ammunition. The M3 sub-machinegun looked exactly like a grease gun; hence the name.

If you are referring to the present, today's most powerful sub-machine gun is the H&K UMP .45 cal sub-machine gun, or the Kriss Vector SMG. if you are referring to the past however then its undeniably the Tommy Gun. also a .45 cal sub-machine gun.

The first machine gun was the gatling gun, invented in 1861 There were a variety of multi barrelled guns invented prior to this, but they are not considered to be machine guns.

In my opinion, the best sub-machine gun is the UZI. Developed by Israel after WWII, it was made to use the extra ammo from the German sub-machine gun MP40. It uses 9mm pistol rounds.
