Not being in war with a country that was already making progress in that technology. The Manhattan project was the result of intelligence information that the Germans were working on the same thing. On the other hand, technology has a way of developing. Scientists were already investigating the power that could be generated, but more from a theoretical perspective. The war just put the project into the hands of the military.

Was Atomic bomb developed in Chicago?
The atomic bomb was not developed in Manhattan, but was developed by the Manhattan Project. The project was headed by General Leslie R. Groves Jr. with Robert J. Oppenheimer as scientific director and had several development sites across the United States. The primary facilities were Los Alamos, New Mexico, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Hanford Site in Washington state. The reason the project was named Manhattan Project was that its original administrative offices were in Manhattan, at the existing US Army Corps of Engineers offices, until they were relocated to Oak Ridge, Tennessee when adequate facilities for such offices had been built. But the name Manhattan stuck (probably partly because it made a good "cover", hiding the purpose/location of the project - as the name "Radiation Lab" obscured the project working on RADAR).
Could anything have been done to prevent Japanese aggression?
I think they could have frozen all assets in America that belonged to the Japanese sooner. Just my opinion...

The Native American Lenape tribe (who inhabited the area now known as New York City before the Europeans) named Manhattan Island, "Mannahatta" or "Manahata," which means "island of many hills" (it is indeed very hilly). The spelling has changed over time, but Manhattan Island has been known as "Manhattan" ever since.

Einstein and the atom bomb and the Manhattan project?
Do you have a question? Entire books have been written on each of these subjects.
How many atomic bombs did the US have during the Manhattan Project?
The Manhattan Project began in 1942 and ended in August 1947, with the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission. A rough estimate is that in this time 15 to 20 atomic bombs had been built, with 5 of those detonated, leaving a stockpile by the time the Manhattan Project ended of 10 to 15 atomic bombs.
How long did the Manhattan Project take till it was finished?
The Manhattan Project (or the creation of the first atomic bomb) began in 1942, although it had been discussed as early as 1939. The bombs were esentially part of an arms race against the Nazi scientists. It ended in 1946 a little after we bombed Japan because it wasn't perfect when we used it on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Brain cells
Could more have been done to prevent the Pompeii destruction?

Why does the US use the atomic bomb?
When the atomic bomb was finished, Leo Szilard, a scientist in on the Manhattan Project (the Manhattan Project was the code name for the project to build and develop the atomic bomb), made a petition urging the President not to resort the use of atomic bombs in the war unless the news of the bomb had been made open in public and on terms that Japan knows and refuses to surrender. The petition was signed by over 150 scientists in on the project. A counterpetition garners only two signatures. Japan, of course, refused to surrender. The result was the flattening of two major cities in Japan.
What does it mean to evaluate a project?
