If you haven't seen it might I suggest Westfront 1918, made in 1930.  Excellent film, in German with English subtitles.

It might, though there were several quite popular war movies that didn't have token Americans. Cockleshell Heros, Man Who Never Was, Sink the Bismark, etc.

- "Hamilcar", on that Punic war labor dispute episode. After Gustave Flaubert's "Salammbô". In French, subtitled in Hebrew. Without Gerard Depardieu.
- "Khosrau", on the rise and fall of the Sassanid Empire in the Middle-East. In Greek, with Hrvatski subtitles.
Entirely filmed in the IDF Bet-Guvrin range...
- "Ntombela". On the 18^th century conquest of South Africa from all three sides simultaneously. In Xhosa with Dutch subtitles. Great outdoors scenes of the Limpopo River valley, assegais, blunderbusses, gore n'guts, San frontal nudity, etc.
-  "Desert Scorpions".  On the "last romantic war". WWII is only beginning. The British out of Egypt are trying to kick the Italian fascists out of Ethiopia, with the help of the armies of states that do not exist anymore (Poland), or do not exist yet (India, Israel). After Hugo Pratt's comic book series. In Amhari, with Italian subtitles.
-  "Porrentruy" A Sci-Fi, "totally unrrealistic" movie about Europe gone bad. A right-wing, foaming-at-the-mouth nationalistic Switzerland lashes out at its increasingly dhimmified and geriatric neighbors with a surprisingly diverse array of weaponry. Special effects every European will enjoy: Basel and Lyon eyesores burning. Lots of tanks, out of their natural environment at the Battle of Chiasso: Ariete vs. Leo II in the mountains. F-18's slugging it out with Mirages and Tornados above Mulhouse and Munich, surrender of the French Eastern Command at Grenoble to the Neuchatel Army Reserve Marching Band. In German with Arabic subtitles. Sponsorship: Thales, Dassault, KMW, Dynamit-Nobel, Nexter and Boeing. Filmed in the Canadian Rockies, where else?

- "Oussouri". Yakov, a Jewish-Moldavian Soviet recruit with a guitar and a solid sense of humor, is sent to the Far East in a disciplinary regiment, with his buddies, who are also a bunch of colorful minority characters (the mix: the unavoidable Armenian, two Georgians, a sad-eyed Lithuanian, and a Siberian-Korean drummer-acrobat) that stick together and successfully avoid hazing and brutality by using their wits and their music. The 1969 Sino-Soviet border clashes are about to erupt. A story of loneliness, comradeship and exile (with Gipsy music) in a very, very strange place. Since this is not an American movie, everybody dies at the end, courtesy of the Chicom artillery. In Russian, with Yiddish and Romanian subtitles.

- "Ayn Jalut" (remake). This most important battle, that took place in what is now Israel in 1260, was the last great Arab victory. The Arabs were, however, commanded by a Mamluk, Baybars. A racist Islamist propaganda animation film, and at least one (Syrian?) feature movie I once saw on Pali TV were made about the event, but neither are any good. Real actors, and real battle scenes with realistic Mongol cavalry and archery in the stunning scenery of the Gilboa hills would make this story an international blockbuster.
