History of Attila and the Huns (Sleepy Documentary - ASMR - Campfire Sounds)

By the end of the Fourth Century AD, the Huns appeared in Europe and shook the already struggling Roman Empire, especially its western half. In this episode, I tell you about the direct and indirect effects of the Huns' invasions (indirect effects include the migrations of other peoples, such as the Visigoths or the Alans). We will also explore the Hunnic society, the mysterious origins of this people, and the life of Attila, their most famous ruler.
