    Growing up in Western Australia, we were never taught about the Great Emu War in school. I can only think it's because now, in more enlightened times, the barbaric treatment of half of Australia's coat of arms, we are ashamed of the slaughter. To honour the tragic deaths of those innocent birds, many of us now wear lovely feather hats. 😆

  • @drkinferno72
    @drkinferno72 Před rokem +210

    What I remember about the rise of the Emu Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Emu Wars, the Emu Legion was discreetly transferred back to Sydney. It was a silent trip; we all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Sydney, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Sydney Opera House. Not a word."

    you forgot to mention. At one point, after alot of attack, the emu learn how to prepare themselve from anymore attack or ambush. So there will be a leader or a group of emu who will overlook for any threat while other emus are busy destroying crops.

      It's not about winning the war it's about stability, winning a war but losing all your men means you'll lose the next war or insurrection. Winning a war but having to siege an important city makes that city almost worthless once taken, the economy is ruined, the defences are compromised and the population is massacred.
