At least, that’s how the story usually goes. In this redux episode of Man Eaters , we revisit the Great Emu War - one of the internet’s favourite historical punchlines - to separate the meme from the truth. What actually happened when soldiers, machine guns, and tens of thousands of migrating birds collided in Western Australia during the Great Depression? Spoiler: it wasn’t really a war, nobody surrendered, and the emus weren’t tactical geniuses.
