To create the atomic bomb before Nazi Germany could (if possible). Otherwize to have an atomic bomb to use on Nazi Germany in retaliation for their using them on England or the USSR (our allies).
It was never expected when the Manhattan Project started that we might use them on Japan, but after Germany surrendered just before the Manhattan Project had a working atomic bomb, it had significant momentum, and it was becoming obvious how hard it really would be to defeat Japan the US decided that as fast as the atomic bombs could manufactured by the Manhattan Project's factories the atomic bombs would be used on Japan until it surrendered.

∙ 13y agoThe Manhattan Project (actually, it was officially known as the Manhattan Engineering District project), was the top-secret program to investigate the possibility of producing an atomic bomb during the expected duration of WW2. After the initial examination, it was determined that such a weapon could probably be produced before 1948 (which was the expected latest date the war would run). Thus, the focus of the project switched to that of an emergency "crash" program, intended to develop a functioning nuclear weapon before any of the Axis powers could do so.
