The Great Emu War of 1932

In today's episode of History and Hearsay, we are discussing the Great Emu War of 1932. In Australia, farmers in Western Australia faced a massive invasion of emus that destroyed crops. The government sent soldiers armed with machine guns to combat the emu population. However, the emus proved surprisingly elusive, and the soldiers struggled to control them. Ultimately, the "war" was a failure, and the emus continued to thrive.
