Nuclear weapons only serve as a deterrent to war when both warring nations possess them. If only one nation has them or neither do, a conventional war is still very possible. That is why all of the Cold War wars occurred in third world countries where nuclear weapons were not present. In contrast, the Cuban Missile Crisis (and the corresponding Turkish Missile Issue) did not lead to war between the USA and the USSR specifically because both nations had nuclear weapons which could effectively serve as a deterrent to the other.

Who developed the term 'Thermonuclear war' and how does it differ from conventional nuclear war?
"Thermonuclear" is a term derived from the science of physics, and was not developed by any one person, to describe a type of weapon and the type of war the use of such a weapon would create. All the ready-to-fire nuclear weapons in the world today are thermonuclear weapons -- there is no difference.Therefore the type of 'war' their use would create would be no different.Also, there is no such thing as a 'conventional nuclear war'; the term makes no sense whatsoever. Conventionalmeans non-nuclear conflict (tanks, planes, men, etc.), nuclear means use of nuclear weapons. The moment a conventional war escalates to the use of nuclear weapons, it ceases to be conventional.So remember, thermonuclear war is the same as nuclear war; they do not differ.
