    But Matthew, how could you forget The Great Emu War, when in 1932, Australia fought thousands of large flightless birds...and lost?

  • @ddforever4188
    @ddforever4188 7 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    As an Ashanti there is something I want to clarify, the reason why the Ashanti's went to war for the Golden Stool was because that stool was the sign of our identity and cultural and if that was taken away from us then we had no leg to on. What you failed to mention was that the British took Ashanti King because they refused to give the British the tool. And one last thing Matt, the Ashanti's and British had been to war 2x before and they never lost, they only won this war cause they had a spy in the Ashanti's army reporting back on their tactics. They forgot for their right, their king and their freedom, I doubt very much that is not something worth fighting for.

    Yeah hi , i am an arabic guy , am from dubai , hey matt ... ummm ... about albasus war everything you said was true but here's some facts for you whale 😉
    1- A single can camels costs more than 15 Lamborghinis.
    2- Back then camels were almost the only thing the arab had , so it's a dear creature to them.
    3- The real reason behind the war is not the camel . Those two tribes used to hate each other since the beginning sooo you could figure the rest out.

  • @thorrangork230
    @thorrangork230 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The reason for the war is not the camel itself I saw a
    lot of sources keep adding this war to a list of silly
    reasons for a war and that does prove they are saying
    it without knowing the traditions that people had at
    that time. The real reason comes from what the "Al
    Basus" said. In her poem, She advises her neighbour
    (the camel owner that Kulayb killed ) to move because
    he lives near people who will not protect or take
    revenge for their neighbour and that what make
    Jassas mad because in Arabic traditions they held a
    huge respect for the neighbours and the one who can
    not protect his neighbour he can not protect himself
    or his people and that was a big insult for the whole
    tribe especially if the insult were toward Jassas which
    is a big name in Bakr tribe. That makes the real reason

In which case you would have just started a pointless war.
