The initial impetus for the US to develop the atomic bomb is that a number of physicists suspected that the Nazis were working on one; they brought this to the attention of the US government (specifically, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) who authorized the research projects which lead to the bomb. The reason it was completed even after it became clear that Germany could not possibly develop the bomb before the end of the war was, basically, inertia: when that many people have been working on a project for that long it's hard to just stop.
