The term “red spies” is used to described the Fascist party leaders Adolf Hitler, Hirohito, and Benito Mussolini. This incredibly melodramatic movie could be interpreted as a criticism of Mexican-American soldiers who have fought someone else’s war.

The peace treaty they created, The Treaty of Versailles, was created to reprimand the nations responsible for the war and to stop any future wars from happening.
