How did Attila come to power?
AttilaAttila (died 453) was a chieftain who brought the Huns to their greatest strength and who posed a grave threat to the Roman Empire.The Huns first appear in European records at the end of the 4th century A.D., when they descended from the Steppes and attacked the Germanic tribes on the northeastern edge of the Roman Empire, either subjecting them or driving them into the empire. By the 430s the scattered nomadic bands had been united into a powerful force which attacked both Germans and Romans alike.Rua, the man responsible for much of this unity, died in 434 and left the kingdom to his nephews Attila and Bleda. For 10 years they ruled jointly and threatened the Eastern Roman Empire on several occasions. In 435 a "peace" was signed with the Romans, which among other things guaranteed the Huns an annual payment of 700 pounds of gold. In 441 the Huns attacked the provinces across the Danube. In 443 Attila so severely defeated the Roman general Aspar that the Romans had to purchase peace with an annual tribute of 6000 pounds of gold.In 445 Attila murdered Bleda and united all the Huns under his own leadership. The Roman Priscus, an eyewitness who was an ambassador to Attila's court, describes him as short with a broad chest, flat nose, and beard sprinkled with gray. Attila ruled with absolute authority, his power based in large part on the extensive wealth from his conquests.War with the Eastern Empire was renewed in 447, and the Romans were defeated in the bloody battle of Marcianopolis. In the peace treaty of 448 they were forced to cede extensive territory along the Danube. Attila then turned his attention to the Western Empire. Geiseric the Vandal urged Attila to attack the Goths so as to remove their pressure on the Vandals, and Attila moved to attack the Visigoths. At the same time the sister of the emperor Valentinian III, Honoria, asked Attila to rescue her from an unwelcome marriage. This gave Attila the excuse to move against Rome. Aëtius, the strongman of the Western Empire and one-time hostage of the Huns, created an alliance of Romans and Visigoths, and when the Huns invaded Gaul in 451, he defeated them on the Catalaunian Plains in Champagne.Although defeated, the Huns escaped destruction and the next year attacked Italy. The important city of Aquileia was destroyed, but Attila did not attack Rome. An embassy from Pope Leo I was credited with dissuading him, but the growing fear of plague and famine probably determined the decision. In 453, while planning another attack on the Eastern Empire, Attila died suddenly from a hemorrhage, reportedly the result of excessive drinking at a wedding. After his death his sons divided his "empire," and the power of the Huns was soon destroyed by internal strife. Attila proved to be a major threat to Rome in his lifetime but left no permanent power to challenge the empire.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below

Why did the goth move into the Roman Empire?
The Goths wanted to escape from the Huns. They came under attack by the Huns who were expanding into their homeland (Ukraine) and then also invaded Eastern Europe. In 375 a Gothic group, the Visigoths (Goths of the west), asked the Romans for permission to settle in Roman province of Moesia to escape from the Huns. This was in the lower river Danube area of the Roman Empire (in present day Bulgaria). It was the area of this empire which was closest to them. The emperor Valens allowed them to settle there 376. The Visigoths became allies of the Romans, but at times they disagreed with them and fought them. The other Goths stayed behind, were defeated by the Huns and came under their domination. A group made up of some Goths, Alans and Huns from the Huns' new heartland in the Hungarian plains east of the mid-course of the Danube invaded the Roman province of Pannonia. This was on the other side of the banks of his part of this river (roughly modern western Hungary). In 380 the emperor Gratian allowed them to settle there as allies. They then protected Pannonia for invasions. These Goths came to be called the Ostrogoths (Goths of the east). After fall of the Empire of the Huns in 451, other Ostrogoths who had remained under the domination of the Huns joined them in this province of the Roman Empire.
