Nuclear weapons were originally constructed for the purpose of; mass destruction, shock and as an ADM; Area Denial Munition.

It was believed that whoever were the first to develop them would win World War II they were that powerful.

Nowadays they are more useful in Mutually Assured Destruction; none have been fired in anger since WWII however with all the worlds superpowers having them it acts as a deterrent against war between these countries since the could annihilate each other by the press of a button.
