In 1932, Western Australia fought an odd “war” — not against humans, but against thousands of crop-devouring emus. Armed with machine guns, soldiers tried to drive the giant birds from farmlands, only to find them too fast, too scattered, and oddly bullet-resistant. After weeks of chasing and firing thousands of rounds for little success, the military withdrew in defeat, leaving the emus the undisputed victors in one of history’s most peculiar battles. | History Collection
