∙ 10y agoMany, many countries helped in the Manhattan Project.
Robert J. Oppenheimer is usually credited with being the primary scientific leader of the U.S. Manhattan Project. However, the project was an immense undertaking, and there were literally thousands of very smart scientists involved, and it would be a mistake to credit the technological advancements required to build the bomb to even a small group of them. Oppenheimer is usually noted because he headed the scientific portion of the Manhattan Project - he was the lead science administrator, and while he did make some interesting contributions, his primary job was administrative, rather than research.
Leo Szilard and Albert Einstein brought concerns to the FDR Administration in August 1939 about the serious possibility of an atomic bomb being feasible, and the concern inside the scientific community that Germany might have the technological and scientific know-how to create such a weapon for use in the just-started WW2. Einstein, however, did not do any of the initial research in atomic fission, nor did he play any role in the Manhattan Project.
