About this listen
In 1932, Australia declared war—not on a neighboring nation, but on an army of flightless birds. The Great Emu War stands as one of history's most bizarre military campaigns, pitting the Australian government and its soldiers against a horde of crafty, unstoppable emus wreaking havoc on farmland.
In this episode, your favorite weirdos dive into the origins of this peculiar conflict, the tactics (and mishaps) of the emu "battles," and the unexpected outcomes. Was it a victory for the emus? And what lessons, if any, can we take from this feathered fiasco?
Join us for a fascinating and funny look at one of history's quirkiest wars.
