Einstein was a life-long pacifist.
The 700-page book "Einstein on Peace" is the most comprehensive record of everything he wrote, during his life, about Peace. It was published posthumously, by his family foundation, to counter the uninformed claims, that he gave up his pacifist convictions.
Einstein never worked on the Manhattan Project. He didn't believe that energy would be released from the atom, during his life-time. When early experiments showed that this might actually happen, Leo Szilard asked Einstein to sign a letter to FDR, telling him about this possibility.
After World War II, Einstein continued his pacifist views, and became a crusader for nuclear arms control, and peace-making through international negotiations.
J. Robert Oppenheimer was not paid for his work on the Manhattan Project. He served as the scientific director of the project without receiving any salary.
Probably the most central was Leo Szilard. He drafted a letter that was signed by Einstein warning Roosevelt of the possibility that the Germans were working on atomic weapons, which was directly responsible for the US Manhattan Project.
The atomic bomb was developed by the Manhattan Project led by Robert Oppenheimer. What Einstein did was to write to the President. He and several other scientists told Roosevelt of efforts in Nazi Germany to purify uranium-235, which could be used to build an atomic bomb. The President put the plans in work to build the bomb.
While considerable scientific and theoretical work had begun as early as1939, the Army Corps of Engineers set up the Manhattan EngineerDistrict in August of 1942 and advanced Colonel Leslie R. Groves to therank of Brigadier General one month later and placed him in charge.Groves was responsible for establishing the Oak Ridge site and LosAlamos, but the scientific effort was led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Many scattered across the US from coast to coast, but the primary design work happened at Los Alamos, NM.
No, Einstein had no involvement in the Manhattan Project (or any other war related work as he was a pacifist).
Albert Einstein worked with a large number of scientists including Robert Oppenheimer and Edward Teller. He also worked with John Manley on the Manhattan Project.

Albert Einstein, he and a team of scientists worked on the Manhattan project which resulted in the creation/invention of nuclear weaponry
Einstein moved to the U.S. In 1933 and was granted citizenship in1940. His greatest achievement in later life was convincing Franklin Roosevelt to start the Manhattan project, the creation of the atomic bomb. Though he did not work on the project himself, without him we may have lost WW2
Albert Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the secret American project to develop the atomic bomb during World War II. The project was ordered and led by the United States government, primarily by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and later overseen by President Harry S. Truman.
The theory of relativity, which was developed by Albert Einstein, is closely related to the concept of spacetime and how gravity affects the curvature of space. Additionally, Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect and the quantization of light played a crucial role in the development of quantum mechanics.
Yes.
No, the invention of the atomic bomb was not an accident. It was a deliberate and purposeful effort by scientists working on the Manhattan Project during World War II to develop a powerful weapon for the United States.
Albert Einstein did not work on the Manhattan Project, the US efforts to develop the atomic bomb. He was denied sufficient security clearance to do so. He did however write a letter to President Roosevelt, composed by his friend Leo Szilard, who did work on the project. Einstein was a teacher.
Probably the most central was Leo Szilard. He drafted a letter that was signed by Einstein warning Roosevelt of the possibility that the Germans were working on atomic weapons, which was directly responsible for the US Manhattan Project.
