The only other animals on the planet that go to war are ants. Most animals do not fight to the death, outside of predators going for prey to eat. And absolutely none of them have atomic bombs besides our stupid asses.
This is incorrect, our close relatives go to war as noted already (and other animals besides, see lions vs. hyenas for example). And, animals fight to the death with frequency, also, even herbivores.
Atomic bombs are irrelevant to the topic, far more have been killed by other means for many thousands of years.

The only reason this is true is because every moment of combat is dangerous - which means it is far safer to chase your opponent off, whether by intimidating them or wounding them. Humans are unique in that our tool use allows us to kill our enemies with a single blow. Animals besides ants that operate in large social groups can absolutely come into conflict with other groups, and engage in what can easily be considered warfare.
If you somehow managed to hand a rabbit a pistol and teach it how to use it, I guarantee there would be dead animals near its burrow.

There is also a chimpanzee civil war that’s been going on for a while.

It’s pretty common amongst primates. I recalled some monkey tribes in South America warring over territory but I couldn’t find them.

umm, have you never seen a pack of baboons or chimps fight?

It also makes sense because, in a fight, you of course would use your most intimidating weapon first.
