in my opinion genghis khan would have won in that battle because he had a sharper brain. genghis khan also had a tall height of six feet. attila the hun was also good soldier. attila had conquered rome with a very intelligent brain. genghis khan was stronger and he would have kept at least 100 soldiers for himself. attila would have also kept for his self guard. both of them would have continued fighting for years but genghis khan would win being more intelligent and strong warrior
Attila the Hun was known as the Scourge of God by the Romans and this term was adopted by many historians. If you want to know why, just research Attila the Hun, he was known to have massacred many and played a significant role in the collapse of the Roman Empire.
The Eastern Emperor of the Byzantine empire allegedly paid Attila the Hun a fee so the empire would not be attacked.
The battle of Monte Cassino had a massive impact on world war II. If the Battle of the Monte Cassino didn't happen then world war II would have gone on for much longer.

Attila the Hun had multiple wives and several children. Attila's last wife was Hildico, a Germanic princess. Attila died on his wedding night with her, apparently choking on his own blood from a nosebleed to which the Hun king was prone, after heavy drinking. If he had not been drunk, it is speculated that he might have survived the nosebleed which caused the death of the most powerful man in the world in 453 AD. One of Attila's would-be wives was Honoria, sister to the Emperor Valentinian III, who was banished to a convent for an act of indiscretion, and she offered herself as a wife to Attila along with half of the Western Roman Empire as her dowry. This proposition sparked the largest and bloodiest battle of ancient times, the Battle of Chalons (aka the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains) in 451 AD, and one of the most decisive battles in history. The Roman general Aetius (a friend of Attila since childhood) alligned himself with the Visigoths and other German nations, fighting Attila to a tactical draw which resulted in a strategic victory for the Romans. Anyone interested in Attila should see the 2001 miniseries "Attila" starring Gerard Butler, and the 1954 movie "Sign of the Pagan" starring Jack Palance which covers the year of Attila's life (452 AD) omitted by the later TV production. Neither story is completely accurate, but both give a feel for life in the sagging years of Roman civilization, and they may incite the viewer to read about this fascinating era.

Attila's invasion of Gaul and then of Italy were not as destructive as it is sometimes thought. Attila's invasion of Gaul was stopped by a combined force of Romans and their Frankish , Burgundians, and Visigoth allies at the battle of the Catalaunian Plains (or Battle of Châlons). This was a titanic battle. The both forces It has been estimated the opposing forces had 50-80,000 men each. The death toll was enormous. Before this battle, Attila ravaged northern Gaul. However, historians disagree about the extent to which this invasion was damaging to the Romans. Some more recent historians argue that ts significance has been enormously exaggerated in conventional history. Attila invade northern Italy up to the river Po. He sacked many cities and razed the border city of Aquileia to the ground. However, he had to abandon this invasion. One of the major reason was a famine which hit Italy in 451, the year before the invasion due to crop failure. In 452 there was crop failure again. This meant that Attila would not have bee able to feed his troops, had he decided to march on Rome. Moreover, Roman troops from the eastern part of the Roman Empire were sent to the Hungarian plains, the Homeland of the Huns. These defeated the Hun troops Attila had left behind to defend the homeland. The Romans negotiated Attila's withdrawal and a peace treaty. Unable to sustain his campaign and to defend his homeland, Attila agreed to this. Therefore, the destructiveness of Attila's invasion of Italy was of limited extent.

Going off achievements alone, Genghis takes over the majority of Asia, whilst Attila doesn't really achieve as much.
there is none. the longest war in world war 1 is world war 1. it would have to be the longest battle. :)*
O.k, Alexander the Great was only strong because of his empire, Attila the Hun use to rip people apart, so its kind of obvious.
On the Eastern Front it would be the Battle of Stalingrad .
The battle of Monte Cassino had a massive impact on world war II. If the Battle of the Monte Cassino didn't happen then world war II would have gone on for much longer.
Battle of Britain
This is a very interesting question. The traditional date for the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain is 450AD, exactly the time Attila was active in their European homeland. However as far as I know no historian has linked the 2 events, even though it's hard to believe there is no connection. Did the English come to Britain because they were displaced by Attila? Or is it even possible they were actually sent by Attila? - after all in 450AD Britain was still considered "Roman" -even though direct political ties with Rome were severed around 400AD- perhaps Attila hoped to invade Britain too? (That's just my speculation, the former possibility seems more likely on the face of it). It is very strange that there don't seem to be any formal studies on this quesion... if anyone out there knows of some I for one would be very interested.
