To be fair to the Aussies, if this was in the US we would have spent 850 billion dollars, conducted over 15,000 drone strikes, and been stuck in their territory for 20 plus years.
1. Overused joke (r\WoOsH) 2. It's $2 trillion, not $850 billion. That's too cheap. 3. Emus won't hide out in caves in the mountains like the Taliban. 4. Emus won't blend in or hide out in population. 5. Emus stand out in the wild. Americans have a lot of guns. All they need to do is put up a bounty program and the birds will be hunted to extinction.
Eh it would've been more like they win the actual Emu war in half a week, then they decide that they want to make Emus to be a liberal democracy trade partner and then they realize, oh fuck these emus are emus.
As it happened on 1932, there wouldn't be any drones. Best you got were BAR, m1909 or chauchat as machineguns, maybe few tommyguns but those were expensive, so you likely had just Springfield bolt action rifles. No M2 Brownings as those entered service on 1933, so just m1909s probably. And looking how the mission was just pest control, so tommyguns, m1909 and BARs unlikely, leaving you with only .30 06 Chauchats that stop working when overheated and Springfield bolt action, and few 1911 pistols for the officers.
A short video (or long, I mean, it's your channel, do what you want) on St. Columba could be interesting? I basically never hear them spoken of. If that's outside your expertise area, no worries, but it seemed like it might be in range.
thanks for the vid. didnt know anything about the emu war before. i like the aussie concept of "we can make fun of everything and everyone" more countrys should implement this. i dont have any suggestions but i love learning random history facts. so if you have something your classes liked listen to the most (iirc you were a teacher right? or a professor) just hit us with that. pretty sure people may enjoy it.
This reminded me of the old second emu war ARMA animation. If that video is any lesson the answer was hiding crayon in the desert at random emu strong holds and leaking that to the local Marine MEU.
Clio, Perun, Hypohystericalhistory, History of everything (Not the podcast there's another aussie channel named that) Man Aussie history has a thing with presentation of history!
Can we do an defense economics perspective on the emu war. Doubtful that will succeed but defense economics in general perhaps a basic breakdown of what can be done to support a country's economic growth and shrinkage post wars would be an interesting video.

Na we can deep fry these. It'd be a quick sweep
Idk mate, they had a huge success with bison hunting

The algorithm has blessed me with another quality vtuber to follow
Please post any suggestions for history lecture topics in reply here!
Anything on middle ages Ireland would be cool. Love reading about the monastics from around that time.
I have one for you: look into the War of the Bucket
Lets go south, did you ever heard of the Paraguay war ? Boss

perhaps a short history of the 80 years war/Dutch Revolt?
Holy shit a vtuber lecturing me about history let's fucking goooooooooooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Imagine starting to island hop japan an your backup is a guy who says he lost to a exotic turkey 💀

Missed it live, ready to learn!
Clio Aite, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!
This was an awesome knowledge nugget. Thank you!

did her stream last longer than the war
can't believe the Australian Government paid for a comedy movie of the Emu Wars but not a nice internet microcelebrity vtuber talk about it.
"emu don't have arm" i laugh for 10 minutes

Basically the only war they truly lost.

HALLO! I AM EMU OTORI, EMU IS MEANING SMIIIILU.
