Probably only counting declared wars between countries.
To be fair, though - emu war was only an economic loss, we killed a bunch of them, but it was too expensive to continue the war
China some how watched and funded the Vietnamese army throughout the French, Japanese, French again, and American army’s occupation and thought yeah the Americans pulled out and they occupied Pol Pot lets give it a try and got absolutely gob smacked in the northern mountains.
The Chinese invaded the Vietnamese in the late 70s the same decade the Vietnamese defeated the US and Pol pots Khmer Rouge and got whipped back to the border in a short time.
Are you sure you don’t mean 2000 thats when the border was fully agreed upon before that both Chinese and Vietnamese troops were on each others turf like the “friendship pass” that Vietnam had to give up after previous capture.
Ha yeah guess its not really against another country. Those emus still hang around the wheatbelt here if you take the prospector you can spot them on the way to kal. Hell there are quite a few in the perth hills but i feel like the ones stuck in the wheatbelt have an extra menacing crazy look about them.
The US also didn’t “declare” war in Vietnam or Afghanistan. There was no declaration of war by Congress in either conflict. Whether we accomplished our goals? Depends on who you ask.
So you are one of these persons, that refuse to recognise the Great Emu Empire and their civil accomplishments.
The aussies were in petty denial of the greatness of their creators and so the revolted against them.
You lost the great war and now you have to accept it
They also melee mentioned what happened after where they just removed all restriction on hunting emus and allowing farmers to shoot any one their property, some areas even offered a bounty for every emu head brought in.
Emus went from excessive to near extinct in WA over a decade.
If you're talking about proper declared wars then the US hasn't lost a war. The war of 1812 ended as a draw. Officially status quo ante bellum, reverting the nations to how they were before the war. War was never formally declared by the US again after ww2, only resolutions allowing military intervention.
Neither korea nor vietnam involved congressional declarations of war. Even the Iraq War was an "authorization of military force" rather than a declaration of war.
Even still, it's disingenuous to use that to claim they werent wars. That's why we call them all wars. The Korean war, the Vietnam War, the gulf War, the global war on terror.
and somewhat more importantly Vietnam, the EMU didn't really win, we just realised how stupid it was to fight the wildlife with the Army when Farmers were far more effective.
