The 3 Greatest Australian Wars
The 3 Greatest Australian Wars
Hey everyone, Listiclese here! @ME2007Vigil suggested a war that I did not include in last The Top 4 WARS list I made earlier. I didn’t want to be left out, so I made a whole new list for it to be on. Please give thanks to my new friend, @ME2007Vigil, for the suggestion!
1. Australian Frontier Wars (1788-1934)
A long war consisting of many conflicts, it was all about killing those darn Aboriginals who would steal shit all the time! Get the fuck out of here ya fucking goon ninjas! The conflicts lasting over a hundred years resulted in some casualties but ultimately led to peace between Aboriginals and Australians. A true bromance story!

2. The Emu Wars (1932)
While the Aboriginals were still being shot at, the government had a far bigger problem looming: Emus. These giant beasts were attacking crops in herds, decimating local farmers and destroying an already depressed economy. The government thought it best to send in the military to tackle the problem. But these bush chickens are as smart as velociraptors, spreading the herds and creating more targets over a larger span and regrouping at a later time. They also took almost ten bullets each to drop, so the government figured out a real solution and gave out free ammunition to the locals and let them handle themselves! What a great idea, one that actually worked!

3. The Black War (1824-1831)
Although this took place where Taz the Tasmanian Devil comes from, Tasmania was also involved in a series of campaign undertook by the British Empire to settle relations between the natives and the European settlers. Though it ended with the remaining Aboriginals being sent to an island where they could be fucked into non-existence, it still remains a war that involved what is now the Australian state of Tasmania!
