The pretzel was the Nazis, while the bratwurst was Germany. The croissant is France and the fish and chips were United Kingdom. The United States of America was the hamburger and fries, while the sushi was Japan. The beef stroganoff was the USSR. The bagel was Israel, and the dumpling and egg roll were China. The Cuban sandwich was obviously Cuba.

Some of the battles reenacted were Pearl Harbor, the Holocaust (not really a battle), Battle of the Midway, Fall of Berlin, and Hiroshima.

the film starts with the germans (brats and pretzels) beginning to persecute the jews (crackers) and taking over paris from the french (croissants). Then comes the bombing of london (fish and chips) by the german planes. after that the japanese (sushi) attack the us (hamburgers and fries) at pearl harbor. The US respond at the naval Battle of Midway. The next is DDAY and the Allies liberating Paris. then the USSR (noodles) helps the US in taking down Berlin, and the war is ended by the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima.

Next is the Isreali conflict, where The british left ISreal after WW2 and arab forces tried to attack it, which ultimately led to the Isrealis owning everyone.
Next is the Korean War, where Russia and China supported the North and the US backed the South. You can see the demilitarized zone, where fighting when back and forht, in the middle.
Next is the CUban Missile Crisis, which occured during JFK's term. The Russians backed the Cubans and the American public was afraid of a missile attack.
Vietnam comes next, with the Chinese-Russian backed North vietcong first beating back the French, and then the US backed south as well.
The Cold War featured the US and Russian both beefing up but never really doing anything.
The Iraqis then started the Gulf War, with the US coming to protect Kuwait and implementing their guided missiles. You also see a suicide bomber.
The 9/11 attacks are next, with the World Trade centers falling. The US invades Afghanistan first, rooting out the Taliban. they then go to Iraq looking for hidden WMDs, but they cant find any. They use the "shock and awe" tactics of attacking at night to scare the population, but to this day countless soldiers are being killed by roadside bombs and other insurgent attacks.
Through all this we see that in the end life goes on...

Do I get extra credit for showing Waldram the "Scissors beat Paper: Churchill beat Hitler: Allies beat Axis" photo? I think another mentionable quote would be "e=mc2>kamakazi" showing the relatinship between Einstein and the bombings at Hiroshima. I know this is fairly unrelated to the Food Fight but w/e.

Wars
First, the world is shown as a whole with all the countries being still and at peace. Then, World War II occurs, including the Holocaust, the French surrender, the bombing of London, Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, D-Day, the fall of Berlin, and Hiroshima. Next the Arab-Israeli War occurs, in which the Brits leave Israel and Israel expands its territory. After that, we see the Korean War. China and Russia back the North, and the US back the South. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurs follows. Viet Nam is shown, with China and Russia backing the North, and the US backing the South. The Cold War is after this, with the Arms Race. After that, Palestinians rise up against Israeli rule, which was called Intifada. The Gulf War was next, which included when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Scuds, and it also showed the Smart bomb. The bombings of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was next. After that can Afghanistan, and then Gulf War II. Gulf War II first was shock and awe, followed by an IED (explosive device often used in unconventional warfare). Finally, bugs show up and clean up the mess created by all of this warfare, leaving only stains behind.

As you can see the pretzel was the Nazis, bratwurst was Germany,hamburgers french,fries, and chicken nuggets were U.S.A,sushi was Japan,the croissant was france, the kebabs was Iraq,and the cuban sandwhich was Cuba.All I know is that Japan attacked USA by suprise, and after that Pearl Harbor began.What I also saw was that USA threw an atomic bomb to Japan which ended the war,which was WWII.Another thing that was mention was the collapse of the twin towers.You can see how the fries are walking and how the twin towers were hit and all the fries started running, which happened in 9/11.The USA responds back and attacks Iraq and wins the war.

The Germans (pretzel) attacked the jewish people(Matzah) which sparked ww2 and britain (fish n chips)and France(crossant) and UssR (Beef stroganoff)and US (Number 5 combo in Mcdonalds with large fries) were the ALLIES and had an epic battle with The AXIS who were the Germans/Nazi(Bratwurst/pretzel) Japan (Sushi) and Italy ( pasta). Sushi attacked Mcdonalds combo becase we hurt their economy by stopping the trade so they joined the axis. Pasta joined becauseof power and the state of there economy angered the population. Mcdonald combo with fries threw a Ronald Mcdonald ( A-bomb)on sushi and they surrendered. Pasta gave in when Fish n chips, Mcdonald combo, and crossant resistence group attacked sicily and they gave in. The beef stroganoff hurt the pretzels and the pretzel man ( Hitler) and pretzel Women ( girfriend) commited suicide. The Allies win ww2 and if we lost we would be talking pretzel. WW2 started in 1939 and ended in 1945. Cold war was US Mcdonnald combo with large fries and Soviet Union Beef strogaloff. Canada and poland was in allies as Maple syrup and polish food.

1. World War 1(1914-1919) began when the Austrians(Which could be the candy PEZ since they invented it)declared war on Serbia(Basically Meat) and soon enough Germany(Bratwurst), Russia(Beef Stroganoff),Great Britain(Fish N Chips), and France(Croissant) were all drawn into the war. After many attacks on USA(Burgers and Fries) in the Atlantic, they joined in also. After years of fighting many countries began to fall, even with the outbreak of influenza, and ended in the late fall of 1918.
2. World War 2 (1939-1945) started when Germany(Bratwurst) invaded Poland(pork chops) and conquered many countries in Europe. Then Germany tried to invade Russia/USSR(beef stroganoff) but did not work out. The US(burgers and fries) and the British(fish and chips) invaded Normandy(D-Day) and the other allies made there way to Berlin and soon enough the Soviets(beef stragonoff) reached Berlin and after the suicide of Hitler, Germany surrendered. After the Japanese(sushi) attacked Pearl Harbor, the USA(burgers and fries) went to war with them. After many major battles(Iwo Jima, Okinawa, etc.), USA dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and after the surrender of Japan(sushi), World War 2 ended in 1945.
