In WWII, the message from the top was very clear -- Germans and Italians weren't our enemies, the Nazis and the Fascists were. Only in the case of Japan was their hostility directed at the nation and its nationals per se. Because WWI has faded so far in American popular culture, we have a hard time remembering that it was a moral crusade for Americans to better the corruption of the old world, and domestically it was an incitement to ethnic chauvinism and discrimination.
