Attila the Hun

Attila the Hun was a powerful and feared ruler of the Huns, a nomadic group from Central Asia, during the 5th century AD. He led a vast empire that threatened both the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, known for his military prowess and brutal tactics. Attila invaded parts of Europe and gained a reputation for his ferocity, earning titles like the "Scourge of God." His reign marked one of the peak moments of the Hunnic Empire before his death in 453 AD, after which the empire quickly disintegrated. His legacy endures in history as a symbol of barbarian invasions.
