The nuclear bomb was invented when it became known that Nazi Germany was actively experimenting with nuclear material to build a possible bomb. Albert Eienstein urged President Roosvelt via a letter signed by him that he the president seriously commence a project to build a nuclear bomb. The project was code named "Manhattan Project". Eventually, some of the same scientist that were in Germany were brought to US where with their help the first bomb was tested. I believe the site is known as Trinity, New Mexico.
besides this facts, Einstein left Germany when he saw the military type regime in schools on time not to fall in the hands of the nazi.
Leo Szilard invented the nuclear reactor and nuclear bomb in London in 1933, shortly after the neutron was discovered as an improved source of neutrons for experiments. He was also very aware of their potential destructive effects. He was not able to build either at the time because of lack of a suitable material.
Otto Frisch discovered that Uranium-235 fissioned when hit by a neutron, producing an excess of neutrons in Berlin in 1938. This was the first material found that made Szilard's invention practical, but it is a very rare isotope and expensive to concentrate.
Szilard wrote the letter to FDR in 1942, but had Einstein sign it because his name and reputation were well known. Had Szilard signed it himself FDR might not have seen the significance and done nothing!
Enrico Fermi built the first nuclear reactor in Chicago, IL in 1942. It had a peak operating power of half a watt.
Los Alamos labs built the first nuclear bomb in Los Alamos, NM in 1945. It was tested at Trinity site, NM on July 16, 1945 with a yield of about 20KTons of TNT.

Was Albert Einstein a genius?
yes but he was not very smart for inventing a nuclear bomb __ Einstein didn't invent the nuclear bomb. That was invented by a committee of scientists. Einstein was a theoretical physicist and developed many breakthrough theories.
Where did Albert Einstein invent the atom bomb?
Albert Einstein did not invent the atom bomb. He was not directly involved in its creation, but his research on mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2) laid the theoretical groundwork for nuclear fission, which eventually led to the development of the atomic bomb by scientists during World War II.
Did Albert Einstein invent the nuclear bomb?
No, Albert Einstein did not invent the nuclear bomb. He was a theoretical physicist who signed a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt to alert him to the potential of nuclear weapons, which eventually led to the Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb.
When did Japan invent the atom bomb?
Japan did not invent the atom bomb. The atomic bomb was first created in the United States in the summer of 1945. The U.S. then used atomic bombs against Japan on august 6 and August 9 of that year. Japan does not have nor did it ever have nuclear weapons.
