Today, if any country decided to send a missile over to our country, we would know via satellite that they had fired (in a matter of mere seconds). By knowing they are sending a nuclear bomb to our country, we would fire one them. This would mean a nuclear fallout; our bombs are at least thirty times stronger than the bombs released at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. This keeps any country from using nuclear weapons on each other for fear of nuclear fallout.

The threat of massive, indiscriminate destruction led to a heightened focus on diplomacy and disarmament, as the Cold War standoff between the United States and Soviet Union demonstrated.

How didn't nuclear weapons prevent war?
Nuclear weapons only serve as a deterrent to war when both warring nations possess them. If only one nation has them or neither do, a conventional war is still very possible. That is why all of the Cold War wars occurred in third world countries where nuclear weapons were not present. In contrast, the Cuban Missile Crisis (and the corresponding Turkish Missile Issue) did not lead to war between the USA and the USSR specifically because both nations had nuclear weapons which could effectively serve as a deterrent to the other.
