There is a long established view that when the Huns pushed into Eastern Europe and settled on the Hungarian plains, they pushed local peoples into central Europe. Eventually some these peoples got under further pressure from peoples migrating from northern Europe and, their lands being squeezed, invaded the western part of the Roman Empire, precipitating the fall of this part of the empire (the eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). This is how the invasion into Gaul and push into Spain of the Vandals, Sueves and Alans has been interpreted. However, this view has now been questioned.
The advance of the Hun also caused the Visigoths (the western Goths) to abandon their land in Ukraine and ask permission to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire. The emperor Valens granted this in 380. The Visigoths were left to their devices during a famine. They routed a Roman army led by Valens at the Battle of Adrianople, one of the heaviest defeats of the Romans in their history. It has been argued that the army of the eastern part of the Roman Empire never recovered from the losses incurred in this betel. This view has also been questioned recently. The Visigoths made peace and supplied soldiers to the emperors. One of their kings Alaric wanted to be promoted to the rank of general of the Roman army. Rebuffed, he tried to invade Italy, but was defeated by Stilicho, the commander of the army of the western Part of the Roman Empire. The two made a pact to invade a part of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, but Stilicho was betrayed and executed. Alaric made demands which Honorius, the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, turned down. As a result of this Alaric besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion he also sacked it. He died soon after this and his successor moved the Visigoths to south-western France.
The Huns (Hunnic Empire) were possibly the descendants of the Xiongnu peoples who had been the northern neighbors of China three hundred years earlier, and they may have been the first expansion of Turkic people across Eurasia. The origin and language of the Huns has been the subject of debate for centuries.
the main names they called the Germans were the "krauts" which was the main one and some called them the "huns" as well
The use of 'Hun' or 'Huns' as an offensive nickname for the Germans was popularized by British Propaganda and sections of the British media in World War 1.On 27 July 1900 Kaiser Wilhelm II delivered a speech at Wilhelmshaven to the German troops about to embark for China to help put down the Boxer Rebellion. As so often with his speeches, he didn't consult the Chancellor or any other politician beforehand, and towards the end of his speech he said:As you well know, you are to fight against a cunning, bold, well armed, cruel foe. When you are face to face with them, remember: Mercy will not be shown, prisoners will not be taken. Just as a thousand years ago, the Huns under Attila won a reputation of might that lives on in legends, so too may you assert the name of the Germans in China in such a way that no Chinaman will ever again dare so much as to pull a face at a German. The politicians present were aghast. The Kaiser had blundered again, and in a big way.
The Marines in World War 2 were called Jarheads, Devil Dogs, leathernecks. Germans were referred to as Jerrys and Huns.
German soldiers during World War I were called "Huns" by the American soldiers. The Germans called their soldiers "The Bosch" during World War I.

Huns
The Huns were a nomadic Mongol tribe of central Asia. They moved into eastern Europe during and after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Equated with barbarians or invaders from the east, German soldiers in World War I were widely referred to as "Huns."
Parthians, Carthage, Persia, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Alans, and Huns. Rome defeated most of these groups, but the Visigoths, Ostrogoths, and Huns (you may have heard of Atilla the Hun) were the groups that contributed to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
Huns ended in 469.
