The first sequel ever made was 1916's "Fall of a Nation," a follow-up to D.W. Griffith's successful 1915 feature "Birth of a Nation", an openly racist ode to the Ku Klux Klan. Per IMdB: "Fall of a Nation" was written by Thomas Dixon, whose book "The Clansman" was turned into "Birth of a Nation." Dixon didn't get any money out of the film, so he threw together "Fall of a Nation" to cash in -- and started the Hollywood tradition.

I don't know, but it wasn't "Fall of a Nation." Although written by Thomas Dixon and titled to cash in on the title of D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation," the two movies had nothing to do with each other. "Birth of a Nation" was set during Reconstruction in the South after the Civil War, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan, and "Fall of a Nation" depicted a German invasion of the U.S. during World War I. None of the characters nor the storyline were the same between the two, so calling it a sequel is a bit of a stretch. "Perhaps Son of the Sheik"?
