The Birth of a Race (1918) was a silent film directed by John W. Noble. It was created as an attempt to capitalize on the 1915 smash hit The Birth of a Nation, and was released following the end of World War I.

After a lengthy "birth of the human race" segment, the film tells the story of two brothers in a German-American family who go to war in Europe, one ("George") fighting for the United States, and the other ("Oscar") fighting for Germany. George is wounded, and at the hospital defends it from a German attack, killing Oscar in the process. George is sent home to America, where he rescues his wife from a German spy.
