Albert EInstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879, and migrated to the United States in 1933, when he was fifty four years old. He became a US citizen in 1940. Earlier, he also lived in Italy and Switzerland, and became a Swiss citizen in 1901. Albert won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect." Though a pacifist, Albert was concerned with the safety of the United States and wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, warning him that Germany may be pursuing development of an atomic bomb, and urging the United States to take action to safeguard its safety and interests.
