About War Comes to America (1945)

War Comes to America is the seventh and final film of Frank Capra's Why We Fight World War II propaganda film series.

The early part of the film is an idealized version of American history, which mentions the first settlements, the American Revolutionary War (omitting the American Civil War), and the ethnic diversity of America. It lists 22 immigrant nationalities, 19 of them European and uses the then-current terms "Negro," "Jap," and "Chinaman." This section of the film concludes with a lengthy paean to American inventiveness, economic abundance, and social ideals. The run-up to World War II is then described beginning in 1931 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
