How do nuclear weapons prevent wars?
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.

How is nuclear fission being used today?
"today nuclear bombs are used for threatening the united states of America just like the Suddan hussan did"The above is a great example of why the USA should not be a nuclear power: the citizens of the USA are not very smart. Saddam Hussein (note the spelling and capitalization) and Iraq had no nuclear capability.In fact, since the original answer claims that nuclear weapons are for "threatening" other countries, and the USA has more nuclear weapons than anyone else, the USA is the one threatening others. The USA is a bully in international relations.
How are atomic bombs used today?
Atomic bombs (and all nuclear weapons) are not actually used in the sense that a country actually drops/fires/launches a nuclear weapon against a foe. Their massive destructive potential has caused them to be moved from a purely military device into the political arena. Nuclear weapons today are political tools - that is, the possession (or implied attempt to possess) these weapons is considered a political statement, rather than a military one. As such, the quantity, location, and capabilities of a country's nuclear weapons take on significant political meaning. The ability to potentially use such weapons adds a completely new dimension to international relations. Primarily, nuclear weaponry is used for three purposes: to discourage the use of any Weapon of Mass Destruction (nuclear, chemical, biological, toxin, etc.) by threat of immediate retaliation via nuclear arms, as a moderating influence on aggression by other nuclear-equipped countries, and as a brake (via implied threat) on non-nuclear countries attempts to acquire nuclear weaponry themselves. The second of the above has been the most successful political use, while the first has seen modest success as a strategy, and the third is mostly a failure.

Why did they consider making nuclear weapons?
WW II was a desperate struggle and there was no guarantee that the Allied forces would win. It was therefore thought to be a good idea to make advances in weapons technology. Of course today we have the problem of nuclear proliferation and the threat that someday nuclear weapons would be used for some very destructive purpose, but when nuclear weapons were invented, all that mattered was winning the war that was in progress at the time.
