goose 0 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Post weird, vague, or just obscure wars in history. It would be nice if instead of just naming the war that you would also give a short or long (idc) summary on what it was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose 0 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 The Emu War took place in Australia in 1932, when Australia was infested with Emus. Farmers and ranchers and all the peasants got angry because there would always be a giant fucking bird eating your shit or being a nuisance. The emus are also protective, so when the Australians tried to take land the emus would constantly annoy the fuck out of people. IN 1922 they were classified as vermin and by 1932 there were over 20,000 of them pestering people. The Australian government sent in a small army with heavy guns to put a dent in their population, but each time they fired at the emus they would quickly scatter away - and emus aren't that small so it took a lot of bullets to take even a few down. It became very tiring and eventually they gave up. Please don't fact check me on this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha 3 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Battle of Karánsebes, the battle between Austria and Ottomans in 1788 that Austrian soldiers shot friendlies accidentally. A real meme war, you should search about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real meme war, you should search about it. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/04/battle-karansebes/ TL;DR: The first mention of this battle was 40 or so years after it allegedly happened,meaning that it most likely never actually happened. A 'war' (a campaign in a war in this example) that I find 99% of people have never heard of is the Aleutian Islands Campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleutian_Islands_Campaign TL;DR: The Japanese invade some islands off the coast of Alaska during WW2. They eventually retreat. US loses 313 men trying to retake an empty island (booby traps,land mines,friendly fire,frostbite,...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
