Nuclear war, or atomic war, is war in which nuclear weapons are used.

Answer 2

Nuclear war, or atomic war, is war in which nuclear weapons are used. A nuclear weapon is a weapon which derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion. As a result, even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield is significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives, and a single weapon is capable of destroying an entire city.

In the history of warfare, nuclear weapons have been used only twice, both during the closing days of World War II.
