Scottish (or Italian according to "some" (Italians, mostly)), German, and British, if I'm not mistaken.
Computer is german too
Konrad Zuse
True. Not sure which was actually built first.
It can be argued that Turing was first, as he theorized it in a paper much earlier, but a valid counter-argument was that his paper about a theorized computer referred to a person.
I wouldnt say having a theory counts as being the inventor. In my eyes you have to put the theory into practise and show that it works.
Having the theory and then putting the theory into practise and getting that to work stable requires a whole lot more than just the theory
The Z1 was build in 1937 and was the first programable computer in binary
