Why did the inventor of atomic bomb build an atomic bomb and why?

Leo Szilard, the inventor of the atomic bomb (patent GB630726), did not build it himself. He wrote a letter that he had Albert Einstein sign and send to president FDR warning of the potential of atomic bombs and that the Nazis were probably working on them already. If the Nazis got atomic bombs first the Allied cause was lost. FDR authorized funds for a study, the study recommended a full program be begun under direction of the Army. This program became the Manhattan Project, which built the bomb. Leo Szilard was one of hundreds of scientists employed by the Manhattan Project during WW2.

Why is Albert Einstein's discovery on the atomic bomb important?

There is no importance as that is false. Albert Einstein never discovered nor invented the atomic bomb. He was a pacifist and would not work on any weapon.He could not even imagine the building of atomic bombs, until Leo Szilard (the inventor of the neutron chain reaction used in atomic bombs and nuclear reactors in 1933) brought him a letter on August 2, 1939 to sign that warned president Franklin D. Roosevelt that Nazi Germany was probably working on atomic bombs, so the US should begin research on the topic also. As a pacifist Albert Einstein was completely opposed to anyone making such a weapon, but his pragmatism and fear of what the Nazis would do with it compelled him to sign.That was his only knowledge of atomic bombs until he read the headline of the August 6, 1945 newspapers announcing that Hiroshima had been attacked with one.
