a rocket is an unguided weapon while a missile is a optically/ wire guided/ radar/ heat tracking weapon which is designed for precision targeting.
ie:
rocket pod on an AH-64 (no guidance)
or
Javelin missile ( Heat Tracking)

Did they use missiles in world war 2?
There is an example of the Germans using the first air launched guided missile in WW2. The Katushia rocket and the Nebelwerfewr were missile systems of sorts. The V1 & V2 Rockets were missiles, the V2 went into sub-space in flight.
When were ballistic missiles ever used?
The first ballistic missiles to be deployed was the German V2 rockets towards the end of WW2, in that they were fired from Germany and aimed at London and the surrounding area. Happily, although nations subsequently developed the capability of deploying ballistic missiles to travel between continents with anything up to and including nuclear warheads, they have always managed to pull up short of actually doing so - and the general disarmament of 1990 onwards has reduced the threat. Of course, there are always rogue regimes (Iran and N Korea immediately spring to mind at the moment), who seek to develop such weaponry for their own ends, but none have so far actually deployed against their enemy.

Rockets were first used for?
Gunpowder was discovered in China and subsequently in the Middle East. -In the beginning they were used primarily for military purposes (signals, flares ect.) and for the sake of entertainment. Ultimately it changed warfare into what we know today as the basics have barely changed for the past 700 years. The only difference is that when we use rockets for military purposes we call them missiles and when used for entertainment they can be toys or pyrotechnics.
