Nuclear war
This article needs a big cleanup.

The Daleks and Genesis of the Daleks' wars and the events describing the creation of the Daleks are near impossible to reconcile with each other. Say exactly what the two say.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

A nuclear war was a war in which nuclear weapons were used. On the worlds on which they were fought, they usually resulted in making the planet mostly or completely uninhabitable.

Nuclear wars on Earth

For details, see World War III.

Nuclear wars on other worlds

On Skaro, the Thousand Year War (and the neutronic war, if they were separate conflicts) was fought with nuclear weapons as well as chemical and biological arms. The result was massive deaths and mutations that eventually led to the creation of the Daleks. (TV: The Daleks Genesis of the Daleks, )

The planet Minyos was rendered uninhabitable by nuclear war, which had been indirectly caused by the Time Lords. (TV: Underworld)

Atrios and Zeos were engaged in nuclear war for five years. (TV: The Armageddon Factor)

The planet Argolis was made uninhabitable and the Argolins made sterile after a twenty-minute nuclear war with the Foamasi. (TV: The Leisure Hive)

The Earth colony on Eldair became divided into two superpowers that annihilated each other in a nuclear war. (PROSE: House)

The Panjistri told the Kirithons that the original inhabitants of Kirith had destroyed themselves in a nuclear war, leaving only their ruins behind; this, like everything else the Panjistri told them, was a lie. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)

The civilisation of one planet destroyed itself in a nuclear war after a group of Eternals, for their own amusement, posed as gods and gave them knowledge of atomic power. Afterwards, they held a party in the ruins. (COMIC: Uninvited Guest)
