What did Stalin and trotsky disagree on?
Trotsky believed as well as Lenin did that if a communist / socialist government is to come to power (USSR) it should openly support and interfere with every conflict and help the communist factions to try to spread communism internationally. Stalin believed that too but when he came to power he changed his view, He openly wrote books talking about the possible failures of Marx and Lenin. Stalin believed that a communist / socialist country should try to create a utopia where life was so good for all citizens that all other countries in the world would want to follow that belief and convert to communism themselves.
Why do you think he changed his name from josef dzhugashvilli to josef Stalin?
Joseph changed his name to Stalin to help prove his image to the public. Because Stalin means 'Man of Steel' in Russian, meaning that was the image he wanted everyone to see! Further, Stalin's birth name was obviously not a Russian name. The form of the name is uniquely Georgian and Georgia was not Russia. He knew that the true Russians in the Bolshevik Party would look upon him as an outsider and that the people of Russia would not want a "foreigner" to have governmental authority over them. In addition, Stalin wanted to emulate Vladimir Lenin, who had adopted the name Lenin in favor of his birth name Ulyanov. "Stalin" had a similar ring to "Lenin" so for all the above reasons, especially for the "Man of Steel" reason, he chose that. And besides, everybody who was anybody in the Bolshevik Party just had to have a special revolutionary name. It was all the rage. Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Kalinin and others were all pseudonyms chosen for one reason or another.

How did Joseph Stalin dominate the people of the soviet union during World War 2?
While Lenin was disabled from strokes, Joseph Stalin, Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev ran the country through the structure of the Communist Party. This continued after Lenin died in 1924. Stalin was General Secretary of the Communist Party and began placing people loyal to him in important posts in government and on the Central Committee of the Party. He eliminated Leon Trotsky, Lenin's choice for his successor), had him expelled from the Party then from the country. Over the next few years, Stalin isolated Zinoviev and Kamenev and had them expelled and eventually executed. By 1929, he was the only one left with any power in the government although he was still subject to being removed by vote of the Politburo of the Central Committee. By about 1932, he had enough of his men on the Politburo that he could do almost as he pleased without worrying about being removed. That is when he became the dictator that he is known for.
