"Nevertheless" and "nonetheless" are interchangeable; however, "however" has a different meaning.

Nevertheless is more like keeping some continuity in what you are saying, such as 'I don't want these, but nevertheless I have got them', it kind of means, in spite of all this.
But 'however' can completely change your point. 'He likes girls with green eyes. However, his girlfriend has brown eyes.' Yet to some extent, the words are interchangeable. I probably haven't explained myself that well. It sounded good in my head!!

I think that however is more like giving the opposite of an idea.
eg: Iraq is a country of war; however, some people
Here is another example: Most people think he is selfish; however, he is used to share his house with homeless people.
I hope this will help you guys.

The dictionary says that these words are synonyms, however ( ! ) the word however is used more frequently to show a contrast between ideas.
Most people think he is selfish; however, he used to share his house with homeless people.
