About The Battle of China (1944)
The Battle of China (1944) was the sixth film of Frank Capra's Why We Fight propaganda film series.
Following its introductory credits, which are displayed to the Army Air Force Orchestra's cover version of "March of the Volunteers", the movie opens on footage of the Japanese invasion of China and then briefly introduces the history, geography, and people of China. The film contrasts the development of the Republic of China under Sun Yat-sen , which it deems as peaceful, with the militarized modernization of the Empire of Japan: It is stated in the film that Japan moved gradually to avoid external interference but accelerated its actions in response to the Republic of China's growing unity and development.
