jip doesnt seem to have one , so here's a nice easy one 
 
who won the 1938 world cup and  why did the win  become known as being 'historicaly/ politically ' significant?

Italy won it for the second time .
As to the significance ?, not sure, I think this was the World Cup where Mussolini told his team to " win or die " ( allegedly). ?
