There has not been nuclear warfare. There have been two nuclear attacks. Nuclear warfare denotes the use of nuclear weapons by both or all opposing sides. The only use of nuclear weapons in warfare were the two bombings by the US of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it was the intent of the US to bring WW2 with Japan to a quicker conclusion.
