The arrival of the Huns in Europe | An overview of all the events known to us

The Huns' origin is a little complicated topic, and historians don't usually come to a single conclusion. All the origin stories that we have are speculation based on archaeological, and other evidence as we discussed in the last video. But what we have, that almost all the historians agree on, are the events that took place after their appearance around 370. Contemporary authors of the Roman empire as well as the authors from other places give us accounts of the Huns, that are enough to create a narrative of what was the overall picture of the Huns after their arrival. Although historians would have treasured the written records from the Hun's point of view, but now that we do not have them, we have to manage with all that we have. I hope you will enjoy this summary of the events that took place between their arrival and Atilla's rise to power.
