What were Stalin's post WWII policies and actions, and were they good or bad. Also why were so many Russian Nationalists dissapointed with them? How would you judge Stalin's place in soviet history?

I don't know much world history or religion. However, it always seems to me that Catholics have been a much despised group in American history. This seems to be a recurring theme. There was a lot of anger(?) and hatred directed toward the Irish in the 19th century, and most Irish, as far as I know, were Catholic. Many thought that John Kennedy could not win the presidency due to his Catholicism.

Why have Catholics been so despised? Is it because of some kind of tenet within the religion itself? Is it a historical reason, perhaps having to do with the Catholic Church?

Please enlighten me.

If the English lost Gibraltar, they would have to go all the way around Africa to move anything to or from India. The Allies wouldn't be able to access North Africa easily either. The Italians could have mopped up in Africa, if the Strait was captured.

I had a history lesson on the war of 1812 where the americans tried to take Canada( or BNA) but untimately fail. I later hear the the americans torched Toronto but us canadians got back at the yankees by burning down the white house (muahahahahha just kidding) but my history teacher says that Canada and the british won but I watch a documentary on TV that says the US won. who actually won? And please answer this question as a neutral stance and not rooting for one country just because you live in it.

Many years ago I heard a story that there were 2 armies/countries that were going to go to war. In order to find out whether or not their enemy was going to attack them during the following winter, the leader of one side sent spies to the enemy's market to see if lamb meat was significantly cheaper than normal. The reasoning behind this being that if lamb meat was relatively cheap then this probably meant that the enemy was slaughtering more sheep than usual, which might indicate that they were using the increased amount of wool collected to make more winter clothes for their army for a wintertime invasion. This is the classic example of intelligence collection and analysis that always comes to my mind.

Is anyone else out there familiar with this story? Does anyone have a reference anywhere to the full story? Was it actually lamb meat? Was the savvy leader Ghengis Kahn? Is the story actually about the Greeks? The Romans? Was it Theucydides? Homer? The Iliad? The Oddyssey?

-thanks!
