Using his space mining vessel, Narada, Nero created a singularity in Vulcan's planetary core as part of his quest to avenge the destruction of Romulus that Spock failed to save. The resulting implosion destroyed Vulcan, killing most of its six billion inhabitants.
Vulcan was only destroyed in the altered timeline, the Kelvin timeline created by that asshat J.J. Abrams. Sometime after the destruction of Romulus but before the 32nd century where the USS Discovery ended up the Vulcan and Romulan races reunited and the Romulans returned “home”.
How many Vulcans survived the destruction of Vulcan?
After Nero (Star Trek 2009) destroyed Vulcan, there were 10,000 Vulcans who escaped, and by the end of the movie, older Spock had already found a planet for them to colonize, and that planet is now called New Vulcan (Star Trek Beyond).
The Romulans diverged from their Vulcan counterparts centuries ago due to ideological differences. While Vulcans embraced logic and the teachings of Surak, advocating emotional control and pacifism, the Romulans rejected these principles.
Vulcans are suggested to be x3 times stronger than a human (and consequently a Klingon) but they are a race that, mostly, avoids all forms of physical violence, due to their dark and murky past, favoring intelligence and logic over warfare.

Who is the most powerful species in Star Trek?
The Q. The Q, as they called themselves, are a Star Trek species of omnipotent god-like beings inhabiting a separate plane of existence called the Q Continuum.
In contrast to the Vulcans and their peaceful logic-based culture, the Romulans are shown to be very military-focused, ruling an emotion and war-driven empire.
In the Star Trek episode “Balance of Terror”, why did Spock say that nobody knew what the Romulans looked like ? Because no one did know what the Romulans looked like. They took off in the days before the Vulcans had warp drive, and then no one ever heard of them again (well, until the obvious anyway.)
There are two possible origins for the Vulcans, neither of which are mutually exclusive. Some four billion years ago, a species of aliens known as the Primogenitors explored space and found no humanoid life. They seeded worlds with technology encouraging the evolution of people with a head, two legs and two arms.
There are instances of them living over 220 years. Having evolved on a fictional desert planet, Vulcans can survive without water for longer periods than humans. Vulcans can also go without sleep for as long as two weeks.
Spock is supposed to be half human, half Vulcan. But all human genes must be recessive, because it seems like he went with the Vulcan trait in every respect. He has 100% pointy ears rather than rounded ones (and not a halfway option). He has copper-based blood rather than the human iron-based -- not a blend of the two.
Obviously, with the introduction of T'Pol into canon, Spock couldn't have been the first (half-)Vulcan in Starfleet, but even the official Star Trek webpage lists Spock as the first Vulcan in Federation Starfleet.
Spock needed to return to Vulcan to marry T'Pring, who he had been bethrothed to since childhood. However, T'Pring had other plans and, instead of going through with the wedding, she handpicked Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) as her champion to fight Spock in kal-if-fee - a fight to the death.
In flashbacks, Picard was shown assuring the Romulans that they would do everything they could. So when he never returned and never followed through on his promises, they felt betrayed and abandoned by Picard. In a way, the hatred directed at Picard is justified.
Spock made a tough decision to keep his adopted sister a secret to protect the galaxy in "Star Trek: Discovery." Spock's history of keeping personal matters private helps explain why he never mentioned Michael Burnham.
Yes, Romulans have a maximum life expectancy of 250 years, but the average appears to be 200 to 230 years. The same is true for Vulcans, with the average being about 220 years. Spock's father, Sarek, lived to be 202 years. A good deal longer than his half-Vulcan son, Spock, who only lived to be 162 years old.
The Romulans and Vulcans descend from the same ancestor species — specifically, the Romulans are an offshoot of ancient Vulcans. From the Star Trek history we know, it's unclear when the split between the two occurred, but it was likely during Vulcan's war-torn period of history.
While a Romulan has yet to perform a mind-meld on screen, certain comics and novels have shown that they can indeed harness these gifts. Nero, the antagonist of 2009's Star Trek, developed his mental powers during his time in a Klingon prison.
No canonical children have been mentioned for Spock. Drafts of the scripts for Star Treks III and IV hinted that the rejuvenated Spock impregnated Saavik during his accelerated Pon Farr, but this was not referenced in the script as filmed.
The elder Spock died off-screen on New Vulcan on January 2, 2263. Ambassador Spock was 161 when he died in the Kelvin timeline, although his final death chronologically happened 12 years before his original Prime timeline death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
