The Great Emu War

The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War,^[1] was a nuisance wildlife management operation undertaken in Australiaover the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with machine guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident.

The new settlers in Australia had attempted to move onto the western area of the continent, but were presented with a surpassingly intelligent, yet extremely violent tribe of emu. Soldiers attempted to fight the emus off the land, with all their war power, and enlisted the help of their allies, as well, but to no avail. The emu were stronger and more powerful than the new Australians had ever imagined. In fact, the Aboriginals were even wary of the emu and dared not reside in that territory. They had an emu god they worshipped they called the Jeltzon, which was the god of war and civilization, which they consulted on a regular basis. The emu had a language which was enunciated by the clicking of its beak, the swishing of its tail feathers, and its loud boisterous cry.
Yet the people of Australia knew none of this, and lost a war to their mysterious enemy. This would be the Great Emu War, and would only be lightly upon in Austrian schools, because of the embarrassment it caused to society for many years afterward. 
Now, today, the Western area of Australia is sparkly inhabited area, and occupied by people living in fear.
