Like Italy and Germany, Japan made their own...they had to in order to supply them with parts and ammunition. Great Britain and the USSR (Russia) used American-made weapons...to include warships, airplanes, tanks, machinguns, and rifles.

Not entirely. Both GB and the USSR built huge quantities of arms for themselves..
Nuclear weapons have only been used in combat on Japan.
I believe Japan surrendered because we threatened them with nuclear weapons.

Weapons of mass destruction have never been used against the US. In fact, the US is the only country that has ever used an atomic bomb against another country and that was Japan during the second World War.
There have been two nuclear weapons detonated as offensive weapons during war. Both nuclear bombs were dropped by the United States on Japan near the end of World War II. The first nuclear weapon (code named "Little Boy") was detonated on August 6, 1945 over Hiroshima, Japan. The second (code named "Fat Man") was on August 9, 1945 over Nagasaki, Japan. The destruction was so horrific, that the fact of the destruction has served as a deterrent to the use of nuclear weapons ever since.
Dropped on Japan to end the war.
In 1945 two atomic weapons were used against Japan .
Nuclear weapons have only been used in combat on Japan.
The US wanted these weapons to be used against Germany, before they could use them against the Allies. However Germany was defeated with conventional weapons before these weapons were ready. So the US decided to use them on Japan as soon as they were ready, to end the war without having to invade Japan.
No. No nuclear weapons have ever been used in an act of war besides the two dropped on Japan during the Second World War. The United States and Russia both produced enormous amounts of nuclear weapons during the Cold War, though none were used.

No, they did not exist until July 1945. WW1 was over before 1920.
Japan did research on nuclear weapons in WW2 but never got near planning to build one, let alone making and testing one.
to use against Japan in world war II
Harry S. Truman is the only president who authorized the use of nuclear weapons, ordering the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan during World War II in 1945.
Two were dropped on Japan, which gave them an excuse to end the war quickly without losing face.
