I think the reason Attila did not take Rome is: His people were nomads. They did not want to manage an Empire. It was easier to leave the Roman Empire mostly intact and extract a tribute every year. As well as lunch a raid once in a while. At least that's what I think the plan was.

For a farming nation and technology back then, was impossible to live in North where the crops don't growed even if they successfully taken the lands, it is useless for a farming nation 2. Compared to building a wall, war costed much much more, and that's no guaranteed of winning, after han wu emerpor(4th emperor of han dynasty) defeaded the xion nu the dynasty had serious financial issued which took years to recovered, on the other hand, means the politicians income decreased, that's why most of the dynasty's politicians or advisors don't wanted to launch war

I feel like the Pope probably begged and pleaded with Atilla. Probably no bribe, threat, or miracle, but more a desperate plea for mercy and probably quite a few recognitions of his greatness. Atilla always struck me as a guy who knew he held all the cards and just kind of went with the flow rather than having some master plan of empire.

Hello from Turkey.

[@NubiansNapata]

Attlia was not turk...Jordanes provided the physical appearance of Attila. “Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and swarthy skin, showing evidence of his origin.” This is not a typical feature of the Turkic people but rather the Mongolic features of East Asia.

[@hakan7295]

I am not fully informed about the subject. But, as far as I know, the continuation of the Huns in Asia, even in Chinese sources, are the Gökturks. Huns in Europe also come from Central Asia. therefore, we Turks see the Huns as the Turkish state. In terms of physical appearance, Turks exhibit different physical characteristics since they spread over a wide geography. For example, Turks in Central Asia are slanted while we Oghuz Turks in Turkey are not slanted. therefore, not all Turks have the same physical characteristics.By the way, if we look at the language used by the Huns, it is very close to Turkish. You can read it from this resource:www.quora.com/Are-Huns-Turkic

[@NubiansNapata]

@@hakan7295 Huns, Avars and conquering Hungarian nomadic groups arrived into the Carpathian Basin from the Eurasian Steppes and significantly influenced its political and ethnical landscape. In order to shed light on the genetic affinity of above groups we have determined Y chromosomal haplogroups and autosomal loci, from 49 individuals, supposed to represent military leaders. Haplogroups from the Hun-age are consistent with Xiongnu ancestry of European Huns. Most of the Avar-age individuals carry East Asian Y haplogroups typical for modern north-eastern Siberian and Mongolian Buryat populations and their autosomal loci indicate mostly unmixed East Asian characteristics. Give those Huns real credit instead of constantly being whitewashed by the western media and Euroccentric academic circles.
