Are Germans descendants of the Huns?
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.
