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.
In which battle did the romans defeat the huns in 451?
In which battle did the romans defeat the huns in 451?
Yes
It depends on what you mean by Asian.
The Huns were group of pastoral nomads originating from an area in central Asia know as the Steppe or Eurasian Steppe it is the world's largest grassland and an exceedingly harsh climate with temperatures ranging from 120 degrees F in the summer to -60 degrees F in the winter.
As to the ethnicity of the Huns it is very hard to tell weather or not the Huns would be considered east Asian or Oriental, as the term is used today. Most tribes from the steppe, of which the Huns were one, were not ethnically homogeneous, they often included Turkic peoples, east Asian people, and Persian peoples, to name only a few... in addition to that it is interesting to note that Chinese writers from the Hun's period, and earlier, describe people living on their borders that sound almost Nordic ie., tall, fair skinned people, with sometimes blonde hair, and sometimes green or blue eyes.
The point being it's difficult to tell, with any accuracy, what ethnicity may have composed the Huns.

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.
