What battle strategy did the huns use?

He never conquered Rome, but he did hold sway over the Romans for about twenty years, and they feared him greatly. It was believed that Attila was a scourge sent by God to punish the Romans for their wickedness. He laid siege to the Roman city of Orleans, and he later destroyed the Roman city of Aquilea, but he never conquered Rome, and he apparently had no desire to.

What clothes did the huns wear?

Asked by Wiki User

The Huns were described as short in stature and of dark skin and hair, but that would probably be only the majority, not all of them.

It's likely they originated in Central Asia, around the Altai mountains so imagining a Kazakh's appearance would be a start (something between Caucasoid and Mongoloid).

It's also likely that the Huns were the Xiongnu, which would situate them in Mongolia. A survey of the people around there at the time of the Xiongnu may lend to a vague picture of the Hun's apperance.

How did Attila come to power?

Attila

Attila (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.

Western Huns moved to Europe and founded Western Hun Empire ....and European Hun Empire...After Eastern Hun State KokTurk State was founded....Hun people mostly called themselves as Turk, means "derived" which addresses the legend of derived people from Gray Wolf... and call themselves also as Turani...Most of Huns are known with their tribe names like,Kyrgyz, Tatar, Turkmen, Azeri, Cuvas, Baskird, Khazar, Bulgar, Uyghur, Magyar etc. Also some of them are called with their latest kings (Khan) name like, Uzbekians, Ottomans..etc.

What does it mean when a girl always calls you by your full name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends in what situation, if you exchangeed numbers and she called you first that means she likes you a lot, if she called you out of the blue, and you never gave her your number, that means she is very eager. She must have asked your friends for your number, call her back, see where it goes from there. It means that she wishes to speak to someone at the number she dialed.

Who was in Attila the Hun family?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He had a brother named Bleda. He also had a father named Mundzuk and an uncle named Rugila. For a little extra information, it's nice to note that Rugila had a way of dealing with Romans that Attila detested. Rugila would sell the Huns as mercenaries to the Romans which Attila hated since he had a hate for Romans. He also had a son named Ernoch, and two other sons who's names I cannot recall. However, Ernoch was prophesied to keep the Hunnic Empire alive and going. However, when Attila died his three sons fought amongst each other and split the Hunnic Empire all over again (since it had been unified by Attila) because they had so many quarrels over land. Ernoch, contrary to prophesy, didn't keep the Empire going. When Attila's second son died the Huns disappear from historical record. The closest relatives to the Huns today are, obviously, the Hungarians since they live closest to Attila's original home on the Danube River. However, the Hungarians are not direct descendants of Attila, although some claim to be descended from Ernoch. Also, if you search other sites and they say that Attila's uncle Rugila was called "Uncle Rua", they're wrong. Don't listen to them.

From which part of the world did The Huns originate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Huns were an early confederation of Central Asian equestrian (horse-riding) nomads or semi-nomads, with a Turkic core of aristocracy. As a more or less nomadic tribe, the Huns cannot be accurately ascribed a territory of origin. Modern opinion is that the Huns' origins can be traced to Turkic region based on the ancient records which described that the Hunnic language was close to that of the Töles, a Turkic Tribe. As time passed and as they traversed through Asia and Europe, they started to settle in modern day Hungary which provided them with enough resources to start a settlement.
