Emu War - OverSimplified REACTION - Mini-Wars

and here we go again another one from oversimplifies I don't think we got too many more than go maybe a couple who knows and this is actually saying I have got no idea what this is about keV but no title gives a little air like a muse a muse I guess I have a muse for the EMU war that don't even think about either I know I did look out it's like a great EMU or apparently back to many emus in Australia they have a similar thing with other animals over don't Lee in the past and they've got a bit of a cold go and fast and coming young so I think that goes on in the Blue Moon but that's a leave me a strike be sure to subscribe here a notification about as we always mention here and other than that reaches Gophers take a look this is Australia for the man who imagines being strangled by a tarantula while kangaroo breaks his kneecaps and things mmm yes please I was a man who pictures himself being eaten by a snake in the burning outback while eating a Vegemite sandwich and thinks hmm yes please well that man was governor Arthur Phillip who landed in eastern Australian 1788 presumably saw dingo being eaten by a crocodile being eaten by a Death Adder being eaten by a koala being eaten by Mel Gibson and thought to himself yes good now I know what you're thinking but oversimplified the British didn't discover Australia the Vikings did and you'd be wrong I'm not sure why you'd think that but hey if you love Vikings so much then why don't you check out today's sponsor war plans was inspired by the PC strategy and RPG games of the 90s we all love want to relive those memories

which led to economic downturn which meant banks wouldn't lend anyone any money which led to more economic downturn which meant everyone stopped buying stuff which led to more economic downturn and hey what if all the crops in the Great Plains were destroyed in a drought and then a big dust storm engulfed the area that's right more economic downturn and in an effort to combat the crisis America began imposing tariffs on foreign imports which made the economic downturn go global and the earth got really depressed but one nation that was hit harder than most by the whole affair Australia the problem for Australia was that it relied heavily on industry and in the current economic climate no one was buying to make things worse Australia had introduced its own currency and picked it onto the gold standard by the British pound but then the UK started messing with its own take on the gold standard and if this is starting to sound confusing and let me oversimplify it for you hey UK looks like my car's broken down want to give me a tow no problem friend I got you [Music] more economic downturn the point I'm trying to make is things weren't good and in particular it was Australia's farmers that were suffering most after the first world war Australia had given returning veterans land for farming but with the current economic crisis the farmers just weren't making enough money and many left to go find work in the cities but for those who remained things were about to get even worse before we get into that it's time for some cultural exchange my national bird is the bald eagle it's a strong patriotic symbol of America and a deeply valued and protected species my national bird is the peafowl it's a beautiful creature whose vivid colors represent India so we listed as a protected species my national bird is the EMU and it's a pest also bloody delicious EMU six feet tall 90 to 120 pounds been able to run at speeds up to 40 miles per hour usually returned to the coast after their breeding season but suddenly they found Western Australia full of lush wet farmland oh my look at all this delicious wheat that just so happens to be growing here in large quantities hey guys get a load of this you know my hey who left this big hole in the fence guys get a load of this what a lovely morning for some farming what those damned emus they have it in for me the bullies they're nothing but bullies calm down Bruce they're just animals it's not personal hey farmer Bruce where did you find that hat the toilet first by 20,000 emus cost the already struggling farmers millions more pounds and lost crops and damages the situation couldn't continue like this something had to be done so in 1932 the farmers turned to the government for help you'd think they'd go to the Minister of Agriculture but these farmers said you know this is a job for the military so they went to draw use of defense that's right Australia was to go to war with the emus but not everyone was happy with the idea this is barbaric we can't go slaughtering thousands of our own national bird come on guys the machine guns will make it quick and painless machine guns you're using machine guns this is animal cruelty look I know it's unusual but it's not like we're poachers turning the birds into feather hats think of the benefits it'll be good target practice for a boys the government can show it to change it a plus one get myself a nice new feather hat did I say feather hat I meant I want to gather chat with you about getting you all some nice new feather hats oh did I say feather hats I meant I want to wage terror at these emus and turn them on to feather hats of course Pearce first made the farmers sign an agreement saying that they would pay for the whole thing and that Pearce wouldn't take any of the blame if the operation that was clearly very stupid turned out to an event and the operation went ahead major gpw Meredith and his men were sent with to Lewis machine guns to hunt down and take out the evil EMU population in Western Australia target spotted well was it an emu no sir it's an emo damn it Jones learn your vows I'm sorry okay it looks like the humans are coming for us but check this out I've come up with an amazing plan see if you can follow me here okay when they approach right the hot run sir you're a genius here sent a camera crew along with the machine gunners to capture some good old propaganda for the government and the first battle took place in November at Camp Ian the men spotted a mob of Amy's from a distance so they set up the guns and opened fire the emus split up into smaller groups and ran in every direction the men were only able to kill what they called a number of birds but the vast majority got away cut surprisingly many of the Amy's were able to take multiple bullets but still run at full speed to safety causing Meredith to compare them to tanks saying if we had a military division with the bullet carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world okay we need to get closer no you idiots not to me to the emus oh sorry no no I liked it so much they tried sneaking up on a large number of emus near local dam and firing at short range maybe the men were just unlucky but my professional opinion says the emus were magic because both guns jammed after just 12 emus were killed and once again the rest got away cut the men were feeling a little humiliated after losing to a pack of discount ostriches so they decided to move further south where the emos were said to be female and this time they had a new strategy okay Jones here's the plan you mount the machine gun in the back I'll chase the emus you shoot got it got it by Kabul I'm gonna shove that camera up your the operation was a fiasco and the press had a field day in Parliament devasted and an opposition party members suggested that metal should be handed out to the emus who'd won every round so far Pierce feeling quite humiliated pulled the operation off but four days later the farmers approached again and said hey man the Meuse are still eating all our crops can you send the army back out here and Pierce was like yeah okay so the operation was back on for round two and this time Meredith and his men had learned the e-news guerrilla tactics and were much more successful with reports suggesting the men were cutting down 300 emus every week I hope those boys are getting great footage of this what on earth are you filming despite the success Amelia have lost interest in the whole thing but with a thousand emus killed peers finally ended the operation and returned to Parliament declaring victory for the humans so there were 20,000 emus out there destroying crops and you've killed a thousand mm-hmm meaning there's still 19,000 emus out there yep and in addition you've burned through 10,000 rounds of ammunition uh-huh meaning you wasted 10 rounds per confirmed kill that's right yeah I'm gonna go ahead and call this one for the emus what what so in the end we Muse won the great EMU war of 1932 ah ha emus continued to wreak havoc on the farmers for years to come the government introduced a bounty system which saw some success but for a moment which takes some time to remember the brave men who said goodbye to their families and risked their lives to take on two great rival population in Western Australia let's think of the friends they made the bond they created and the memories they shared [Music] come on take the bait I've been actually an unfaithful one second that the emus with the basically won no no no that shows now is that major are so are those this tree gums they don't think of anything else I solved the EMU crisis really how I just made some better fences that is there you go so really simplistic buy my merch he deserves it the affair that channel is absolutely awesome yeah go that well so be simplified so why yeah why have a mask on when they could just lock

of it I was actually way up there is the best one I do believe but they do think it tells the story so well it keeps you engrossing and you doing that way we said that before i yes under would never you'd never imagine looking for or looking at and just show you a little bit history every catch them with every no doubt fascinate life eight you for we've all prior that's slow they're like no no I suppose that truck probably can't get much quicker over they'll back then no probably grow nineteen phase there's no wait for the EMU walls down below in the comments and you quite add some stuff in
