Essentially, whoever got the nuclear bomb first would have a tremendous advantage as its cost : kill ratio was very high, as it turned out the european
conflict was already won, so it was used to force the japanese into surrender,
saving considerable future losses.
Post WW2, the USA and Russia matched each other for capacity, resulting in a
long political stalemate (cold war) until the failing communist ideology signalled the demise of russian occupation of a great part of mainland Europe.
Lowpoint : Cuban missile crisis (october 1962)
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.
Atomic Bomb
He was involved heavily in World War I when he contributed to the Manhattan project that went on to develop the atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war in the Pacific, however, he has made no contributions beneficial to either the axis nor allies in WWI.
in my opinion, what really broke the stalemate was when the US joined. fresh new troops for the Allies gave them an advantage over the tired Central Powers.
Stalin tried to force the Allies out of Berlin, Germany by cutting it off from contact with the west. The Berlin Airlift project enabled the Allies to supply their portions of the city and remain there despite Stalin's efforts to the contrary.
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.
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.
the allies had a coordinating strategy for victory
the allies have more militeristic abilities and strength

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.
