The Mouse That Roared (1959)
Directed by Jack Arnold
The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid. They send an invasion force (in chain mail, armed with bows and arrows) to New York and they arrive during a nuclear drill that has cleared the streets.

What critics compared The Mouse That Roared to
Groucho Marx once played Rufus T. Firefly, the dictator of Fredonia, and "The Mouse That Roared" was about the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
It’s the difference between “Richard III” and “The Mouse That Roared,” where tragedy proves far more damning than farce.
