The Manhattan Project provided the Allies with the technological advantage of nuclear weapons, specifically atomic bombs, which were developed and successfully tested by 1945. This breakthrough not only demonstrated the potential for unprecedented destructive power but also significantly hastened the end of World War II when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Furthermore, the project advanced advancements in nuclear physics and engineering, laying the groundwork for future military and civilian applications in nuclear energy.
During World War II, the Manhattan Project gave the Allies an immense technological -- and, thus, military -- advantage against their sole remaining enemy, Imperial Japan. Without any means of stopping the weapon produced by the Manhattan Project, and with no means of retaliating in kind, Japan was forced into surrender once that weapon was used.
One of the major reasons the Manhattan Project was initiated was the fear that Nazi Germany was developing atomic weapons during World War II. This concern prompted the U.S. government to accelerate its own research into nuclear fission, leading to the development of atomic bombs. The project aimed to ensure that the Allies would have a decisive technological advantage in the war. Additionally, the scientific community's early breakthroughs in nuclear physics and the potential for massive destruction further motivated the project’s urgency.
The U.S. initiated the Manhattan Project shortly after entering World War II due to concerns that Nazi Germany was developing its own atomic bomb. The project aimed to harness nuclear fission for military use, recognizing the potential of atomic weapons to significantly alter the course of the war. The urgency was heightened by the need to ensure that the Allies would have access to this powerful technology before Axis powers could utilize it. Ultimately, the project represented a strategic response to the wartime landscape and the race for technological supremacy.

The joint US, UK, Canada project to build the fission bomb (originally invented and patented by Leo Szilard in 1934), that became the Manhattan Project, was to attempt to beat Nazi Germany to the same goal as they were believed to be ahead of the Allies when the project began. The project to build the fusion bomb was a similar race but against the USSR.

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.

The allies had the advantage. The allies controlled the sea. Who ever controls the sea, can come and go as they wish; and can receive supplies (food, water, fuel, ammo, medical supplies, spare parts, tools, reinforcements, etc.).
No, J. Robert Oppenheimer was not part of the Axis Powers during World War II. He was an American theoretical physicist and is best known for his work as the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapons for the Allies.
