The Great Emu War of 1932

In 1932, Western Australia Faced an Unusual Foe: The Emu. After World War I, Returning Soldiers Were Given Land to Farm, but a Drought Left Them Struggling. That Year, 20,000 Emus Descended Upon the Wheat Fields, Destroying Crops and Causing Chaos. The Farmers Turned To the Government for Help, Leading to What Became Known as the Great Emu War.

Armed With Machine Guns, a Small Military Unit Was Sent to Fight the Flightless Birds. However, the Emus Proved Surprisingly Resilient. They Could Outrun the Soldiers, Scattering in Small Groups and Dodging Bullets. In the End, After Several Weeks, Only Around 1,000 Emus Were Killed, While the Rest Continued Their Rampage. The Soldiers Admitted Defeat, and the Emus Emerged Victorious.

The Absurdity of the Great Emu War Became a Strange Chapter in Australia’s History, a Reminder That Even With Modern Weapons, Nature Sometimes Wins the Battle.
