Where did Albert Einstein create the atomic bomb?

Albert Einstein did not create the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was invented by a group of scientists in the United States. The majority of the research and testing went on at the weapons research and design laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Einstein did, however, send a letter to president Roosevelt encouraging the United States to begin research on an atomic weapon, and many of Einstein's theories went into the creation of it.The atomic bomb was not invented in the US, it was invented in London, England in 1933 by Leo Szilard and patented by him in 1934. However it took 12 more years, many scientists & engineers & technicians, and an enormous investment in new industrial infrastructure before the first atomic bombs could be built.
