The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin
“I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor, that’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white.

In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone.”

The colored regions represented the various empires throughout the last 4000 years.
