The ONLY nuclear device(s) ever used in a world war was the Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombs that were dropped in August of 1945, ending WWII. Nuclear powered naval ships were used in a number of other conflicts, but not nuclear weapons.

Why did the U.S use nuclear weapons during the Vietnam war?

The United States has only used nuclear missiles in military actions in one war, World War Two against the Empire of Japan on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States has not used nuclear arms in any conflict, they aren't wars we have not issued a declaration of war or had one declared against us since world war two, due to the assumed consequences of using one. In Korea had we used a nuclear missile against the North Korean's and their Chinese allies, Russia and possibly china, i don't recall when they first acquired nuclear arms at this time, would have used them against us. Same for Vietnam, had we used nuclear arms the enemy would have retaliated and all hell broken loose. Basically: Mutually Assured Destruction.
