    The correct answer is He believed that Germany was trying to develop one

    Many of the scientists who worked on the project were actually originally German scientists who were saved from the Nazis and taken back to the United States. The US knew that Germany was working on developing atomic weaponry so they needed to make their own in order to protect themselves.
