Do you know anything about WWII? The big "huge" you are talking about have names: "Little Boy" and "Fat man". Such things make the enemy "flee" in fear of it.
But your dichotomy between the good guys and the bad guys is naive and simplistic. Rarely do you ever have a war in which it is starkly black and white, according to public consensus, who are the evil people and who are the good people. The last war which comes close to that is WWII, in which the facism of the Axis powers and the violent imperialism of Japan, were clearly seen in the eyes of the world as making them "bad guys". The Japanese committed numerous atrocities on a grand scale in China (see The Rape of Nanking) and the Phillipines; The Germans (and to a lesser extant, the Italians), perfromed, just as the Japanese did, horrible surgical experiments, the attempted genocide of Jews, and numerous other atrocities. While the Allies (unless you count the Soviet troops unmitigated rape, pillaging, and torture of Germans and Finnish peoples. but the Soviets were a late comer to the Allies and were seen to be 'questionable' as far as the Ally part goes) did their share of questionable things (like bombing cities with little or no military objective in mind), they did not commit unjust acts on the level of the Nazis or the imperial Japanese.
Warfare nowadays has no clear boundary of "good" and "bad" lines as you imply. It is a very complicated and convoluted question as to what counts as one waring entity being a "evil" or not, and one being "good" or not.
Also, it is not at all clear when one side, the "good" side as you say, is about to lose. In the Korean War, most NATO Western nations considered the North Koreans and the Communist Chinese to be the "bad guys". The was prolonged for a while and some thought america was claerly losing, others thought it was a stalemate, and still others thought America was winning and simply needed to drop "the bomb." But in the end, America failed to keep North Korae from being a dominant communist nation and a great many lives were lost. But America did prevent Noth Korea and the Chinese from capturing all of the Korean peninsula. So, was it a loss or a win? There are generals and political pundits that say both. Vietnam is similar. Many think it was a loss (it certainly was a loss for the French), others say the Americans won. It's just not cut and dry as your question assumes.
But things that cause one side to quickly capitulate are things like the following
1. An immediate and continual loss of a great amount of civilian life (The Atom bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima qwhch forced the surrender of the invading Japanese; or the devastaing pre-carpet bombing of Germany in the final days of WWII; but in ancient times this was often caused by starvation due to lack of supplies)
2. A drastic lack of supplies for the war effort (this is the primary reason, in addition to the weather, that forced the Nazis to surrender their attempts at capturing Stalingrad).
3. A maximum destruction of enemy personel and equipment, either at once or continuously over time.
But these are not necessarily the sorts of things that will make the "evil side" run in fear. You simply have to lose this talk of "good side" and "evil side", it's just too infantile.
Unfortunately, to the asker, you want good and evil, not "good" and "evil". And the only thing shallow here is your utter ignorence regarding what you are even asking. Moron.

What you describe sounds like Armegeddon or the battle of Gog and Magog against Israel. Israel is besieged and about to collapse when two prophets hold off the enemy for 2.5 years. They are killed and lay in the streets for 3 days. Then they rise from the dead and Jesus descends upon the Mount of Olives which splits in two and Israel is able to flee. The war is over. In that scenario, Gog and Magog, probably representing the Arab nations, are the evil representatives in the conflict and Israel is the good representative in the conflict. This event could actually take place in the forseeable future.

Uhm, your question--if it can even be called that--is so poorly framed it barely meets the basics for intelligibility. Secondly, you are the one who has proven to be moronic, not the person who asked you what your question is, and not sl, who gave you probably your best answer.
It is clear that you have no idea what your asking, nor do you have any idea how much more intelligent than yourself are the people who have kindly tried to help you by attempting to answer your incoherent question.

Good and Evil are relative terms. In all wars the evil side are those on the other side.
Having a nuclear deterrent stops wars, but to use one can be regarded as extreme evil.

not always "Good" and "Evil" just two sides with two different opinions
Atomic Bomb ended one!
Treaties ended many!
