Script
Did you know that Australia declared war on... emus? Yep, in 1932, farmers were losing crops to thousands of these feathery fiends, so the government deployed soldiers with machine guns. It was called the "Great Emu War." Sounds epic, right? Wrong! The emus were too fast and agile. They scattered, dodged bullets, and basically laughed in the face of the military. After thousands of bullets, the emus were still winning. The army withdrew in disgrace. So, Australia lost a war... to birds. And the twist? Some historians argue the whole thing was a publicity stunt gone wrong. Want more tales of historical humiliation? Follow for more crazy history facts!
