The United States initiated the Manhattan Project during World War II primarily due to concerns about Nazi Germany potentially developing atomic weapons first. In response to this threat, the U.S. sought to harness nuclear fission for military purposes, leading to a race for atomic supremacy. The project aimed to develop an atomic bomb as a means to end the war swiftly and secure a strategic advantage in the post-war world. Additionally, significant scientific advancements and collaboration among leading physicists played a crucial role in propelling the project forward.

Ever since, the name "Uncle Sam" has been synonymous with "United States."
The first atomic bomb was built by scientists working on the Manhattan Project during World War II. This project was a top-secret research and development program undertaken by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The bomb was successfully tested in July 1945 before being used in combat against Japan in August 1945.
The Manhattan Project required huge amounts of computational power to analyze the mountains of data being generated in the laboratories.It gave birth to the modern electronic computer.^^^^^PLZ see Turning's Cathedral by Geo Dyson (6mar12)

Not being in war with a country that was already making progress in that technology. The Manhattan project was the result of intelligence information that the Germans were working on the same thing. On the other hand, technology has a way of developing. Scientists were already investigating the power that could be generated, but more from a theoretical perspective. The war just put the project into the hands of the military.
