HUNS

The Huns were a nomadic and warlike people of Asia, of Mongolian race, part of whom entered Europe, probably in the 4th century AD, conquered the Alans, and drove the Goths out of Dacia. They continued to extend their dominion along the Danube until the time of Attila (434 AD), who, uniting the whole Hunnish power in one hand became the most powerful prince of his time. Soon after Attila's death in 453 the Hunnish empire declined and disappeared and the Hun race became extinct.
