What has the most stopping power a 38 caliber or a 380 caliber hand gun?
Depends- WHICH 38 caliber- and which cartridge. The .38 S&W is a relatively weak cartridge, but the .38 Special has been loaded to much higher energies. SOME .38 specials have more stopping power than SOME .380s. and vice versa. The .38 Super Auto has MUCH more power than the .380.

Why was the 45 caliber designed?
Assuming that your question relates to the .45 ACP cartridge that was used by the US military in the 1911 pistol- The standard sidearm had been the .38 Colt revolver (not a .38 Special, but another cartridge- the .39 Colt). In combat in the Philippines, it was found that the .38 Colt lacked stopping power when faced with a determined opponent- an attacker might die from the gunshot, but not right away. In the search for a cartridge with greater stopping power, trials of firearms were held in 1906-1907, and resulted in the .45 US Govt Revolver of 1906. This was quickly replaced with the .45 US Govt revolver, Mdl 1909, which was similar to the .45 Colt cartridge (but with a bigger rim, which made in hard to use on older revolvers) In 1906 the govt also looked at a .45 cal autoloading pistol (autoloaders were getting popular in Europe about that time) and selected a modified version of the .45 Colt Automatic Model 1905. This was the father of the current .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge. Big, heavy, slow bullet- with a lot of stopping power. This remained the standard combat handgun of much of the US military until the adoption of the M-9 pistol, in 9mm Parabellum. Which, once again, we find is lacking in stopping power when used against a determined opponent......
Is the 44 magnum the most powerful handgun in the world?
No. Most powerful handgun can be a bit ambiguous, considering that many short barreled rifles are sold in the US as handguns, minus the buttstock. As for purpose made and designed pistols, in the traditional sense, firing a dedicated handgun cartridge, the answer still is no. The most powerful production pistol in the world which fires a dedicated pistol cartridge is the Pfeifer Zeliska revolver. It fires a .600 Nitro cartridge. There are several other dedicated pistol cartridges which eclipse the .44 Magnum in terms of power - .454 Casull, .50 Action Express, and .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum are some of the better known ones. Even when Clint Eastwood claimed in the movie 'Dirty Harry' that the .44 was the most powerful handgun cartridge in the world (the movie was released in 1971), he was already outdated - the .454 Casull had already been introduced in 1959.
