Father Coughlin, a Catholic priest, became revered for his religious as well as political views on his radio show that aired from the 1920's through the 60's. Some of his views were anti-Semetic and pro-Nazi, which reduced his influence. In the US, he was an early polarizing figure.

Not much (as to that 'president', see below). The often-repeated assertion that "he made the trains run on time" is based only on one remark he once made in passing to a stationmaster. His foreign policy - which he wanted to be his enduring legacy, namely the re-creation of a Roman Empire - was an unmitigated disaster.

His efforts to colonize Ethiopia were met with a humiliating defeat at the hands of a lightly armed Ethiopian army, before he managed to subdue them with copious amounts of mustard gas, thrown from planes. Italy was kicked out of Ethiopia in one of the first offensive military actions by the English, in 1941.

His attempt to invade Greece also met with defeat and his armies were pushed back by the Greek army far beyond the borders of Albania before the German army took over and finally defeated the Greeks.

Then he attempted to invade the already defeated France, only to be beaten again by the remaining French forces.

Finally his armies participated in the North Africa campaign under general Rommel. Rommel mostly used the Italians as cannon fodder and you can hardly blame them for their eagerness to surrender to the Allies whenever an opportunity presented itself.

Finally when the Allies invaded Italy, the Italians - sick and tired of Mussolini's adventurism - kicked him out of office and surrendered to the Allies. Unfortunately, the German army again stepped in, occupied Italy and made it a battlefield until practically the end of the war.

By the way, he never was president of Italy. Italy was a kingdom at the time. He was the leader of Italy's government, with the title "Il Duce"("The Leader").

No, Somaliland was not controlled by Italy in the 1930s. During that period, Somaliland was a British protectorate known as British Somaliland.

In the 1930s, Canada exhibited various forms of anti-Semitism, including discriminatory policies and social attitudes. Jewish immigrants faced significant barriers, such as restrictive immigration laws and widespread societal prejudice. Anti-Semitic sentiments were reflected in some political rhetoric and media, contributing to the marginalization of Jewish communities. However, it is also important to note that there were efforts by some individuals and groups to combat this discrimination and support Jewish refugees during that time.

The 1935 uprising in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was primarily driven by widespread dissatisfaction with colonial rule, economic hardship, and social inequality. The population faced high taxes, low wages, and poor living conditions, exacerbated by the effects of the Great Depression. Additionally, the lack of political representation and voice in governance fueled resentment against colonial authorities, leading to protests and violent clashes. The uprising highlighted the growing demand for social justice and political reform in the region.

A bit of a struggle, as in all forms of capitalism (the USSR was state capitalist).

No. Trick or treating has been around for centuries. It was used as a way to respect the dead. The idea was that if you placed offerings for the dead and/or for demons, the spirits would leave people alone throughout the rest of the year. So as that tradition progressed, people started dressing as what they thought that the spirits looked like. The superstition about demons causing harm if not appeased was how vandals justified their actions.
