Rockets were first developed and used in China. By the 19th century, most European military powers had rockets available, although they were neither reliable nor accurate.

Rockets, as we understand them today, were developed in the United States by Robert Goddard in the early 20th century. He received no government funding or recognition. They were developed in their modern military form in Germany during the second world war, building on Robert Goddard work as recorded in US Patents, which were and are publicly available documents.

Subsequent advances were made initially by German scientists who moved to the US and USSR after WWII, then by government programs in the US, USSR and other countries. .
