They displaced the Scythians and conquered Sogdiana and Khorasan before 425. They crossed (425) the Syr Darya (Jaxartes) River and invaded Persia. Held off at first by Bahram Gur, they later (483-85) succeeded in making Persia tributary. After a series of wars (503-13) they were driven out of Persia, permanently lost the offensive, and were finally (557) defeated by Khosru I. The White Huns also invaded India and succeeded in extending their domain to include the Ganges valley. They temporarily overthrew the Gupta empire but were eventually driven out of India in 528 by a Hindu coalition. Although in Persia they had little effect, in India the White Huns influenced society by altering the caste system and disrupting the hierarchy of the ruling families.

the agora was an open tree lined square surrounded by columned buildings. It was both a commercial and political centre. Athenian men spent much of their days in the agora where a wide variety of activities took place. people could buy a wide range of goods. women looked after the affairs at home but usually did not attend such public places so instead they send the slaves to do the shopping.
shoppers could buy lamps or cooking vessels. they bought fish, olive oil, garlic and onions for cooking. there were barbers, cobblers who made and repaired shoes, bankers who played an important role in the city whose wealth was based on trade. in one part of the agora slaves and horses were displayed for sale.

Filipinos are Asian. Filipinos have very little ties with the Polynesians. The only ties the two groups have are: Austronesian language and ancient Austronesian DNA.
According to the "Out of Taiwan" theory, ancient Taiwanese aborigines sailed south to the Philippines then to Malaysia-Indonesia then they mixed with some Melanesians of New Guinea which resulted in creating the Polynesians which then went on to populate the uninhabited islands of the south Pacific including Hawaii and New Zealand.
Filipinos on the other hand are predominantly Austronesian in ancestry and their closest genetical relatives are the Taiwanese Aboriginals (who are not Han Chinese by the way, they lived in Taiwan several millenniums before immigrants from China came) and to a lesser extent, the people of Malaysia and western/central Indonesia and Southern China, all groups that are considered Asian.

No, Vietnam is a sovereign nation. From 111 BCE until 39 AD, China ruled Vietnam. Four years later, China reconquered Vietnam and ruled for another 5 centuries before being driven out. Then from 602-905 AD China ruled Vietnam again. Then there was the short lived "Fourth Chinese domination" that lasted for 20 years in the 15th century. China invaded Vietnam for about 4 weeks in 1979, but pulled out with no clear winner (The Vietcong managed to hold onto Cambodia while China successfully destroyed Vietnam's offensive capabilities in the North).
tl;dr: Vietnam is not currently part of China, but has been in the past.

What is the main belief system of judaism?
The major belief of Judaism is the oneness of God, although this is interpreted differently among different Jewish denominations.

- Tikkun Olam (making the world a better place)
- Turning the mundane into the holy
Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One"
Answer:
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.
Here is a list of the most basic beliefs of Judaism, as collated by Maimonides:
1. God exists, and is the Creator.
2. God is One and unique.
3. God is not physical.
4. God is eternal.
5. Prayer is to be directed only to God.
6. The words of the prophets are true.
The prophecies of the Hebrew Bible have been coming true throughout history. Even secular archaeologists (the unbiased ones) have stated that the Hebrew Bible is the most accurate of historical records, as the disdainful theories of Wellhausen and Bible-critics of his ilk have been shattered by the archaeologist's spade. A list of Bible verses which were deemed anachronistic but later shown to be perfectly accurate would run into the many hundreds.
7. The prophecies of Moses are true; and he was the greatest prophet.
8. The Torah was given to Moses by God.
9. There will be no other Torah.
10. God knows the thoughts and deeds of all.
11. God rewards the good and punishes the wicked.
12. The Messiah will come.
13. The dead will be resurrected.
