Yes. Both strategic & tactical nuclear weapons. Great Britain has been a nuclear power since the end of the Second World War. The US & Britain cooperated in the secret nuclear program during WW2 that created the first atomic bombs.
Was the atomic bomb ever used after world war 2?
There have not been any attacks using atomic bombs or missiles since World War II (as of today, May 4th, 2011). There have however, been many nuclear weapons tests - where controlled explosions have been conducted. Most of these have occurred underground to reduce nuclear fallout.
How often have nuclear weapons been used since World War 2?
In war, never.
Why was containment so important during world war 2 and the cold war?
IF the term "containment" was ever used in WW2, it certainly wasn't meant in the same context as the "cold war" containment...there were no nuclear weapons during 99% of WW2. Atomic weapons created the "cold war." Without atomic weapons, the Soviets/Red Chinese/etc. would've been fighting the US more times than just Korea and Vietnam...and they would have been "declared total wars." Since Nukes wouldn't have existed, it would have been "war as usual." Man's been fighting wars since before recorded time. Why should things change now(?)...because of atomic weapons they changed! Nukes DO EXIST; and they have since 1945. Thus, the cold war. It was important because the Communists were violating most of the values that the free world considered important. And the communists were seemingly getting more aggressive...therefore, the free world resisted them.

What has the US learned about the use of the atomic weapons since the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima?
