Best Answer

To defend against the possibility of a Nazi atomic bomb, which if Germany succeeded in making it Hitler would order it used against Britain to force them to surrender. It was hoped the US might complete the atomic bomb first, but if not then shortly after so that Germany might also be attacked with them in retaliation for attacking England.
