Sage Hurst · Answer 1

The correct answer is President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Roosevelt started the Manhattan Project after receiving a letter from Albert Einstein which warmed him of the advancements made by German scientists during World War II. After hearing about these concerns, FDR wanted to ensure that the US would be ahead of Germany in terms of the development of the atomic bomb. Roosevelt knew that if Germany beat the US to this development, it could be extremely dangerous for the entire world.
