The Emu War was started because it was assumed to be an easy political victory but these birds had different ideas. Despite heavy machine gun fire, the emus learned, adapted, and overcame. Joseph Lyons faced pressure to put an end to the whole silly affair. And unfortunately, the towns of Campion and Walgoolan would see their support evaporate as more emus trampled the wheatfields so necessary for living. ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics, and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!
