What country created the machine gun in ww1?

The first true machinegun to see use in the 1st World War was the British Maxim Gun, invented by Hiram Maxim, an American-born inventor who immigrated to the United Kingdom. Rapid-firing firearms existed prior to World War 1, the Gatling Gun introduced in the US Civil War is one example. The Maxim Gun however was the first true machinegun as it was the first self-powered gun to operate in rapid succession. All pervious rapid-firing firearms required action on the part of the user, unlike the Maxim Gun which operated its action by harnessing the recoil of the previously-fired cartridge. Thus the British Empire is the country which first 'created' a machinegun and implimented them in the span of the 1st World War.

When was the first machine gun invented?

-answer- the first machine gun was invented during world war 1 (WW1). -feedback- my problem with this answer. is that it does not say the name of the gun more specifically nor does it say the nationstate that got this technology first, where as the first rapid fire turrent was in the year 1862 and it was the Americans. it was called gatling gun. also one of the first guns for personnel to carry was something like a tommy gun in the 1930s and 1940s. i need to know this for a game im working on called Call to power II :World at war mod. if this is true i could use civilian machine gunners much more sooner.
