It's like in One Piece, the world government telling the world that the D clan and Luffy the main character are the most evil people in the world (just because they pose the most threat to them)
Why is Attila the Hun remembered as evil? And Alexander the Great is so revered? They were both two of the greatest generals and leaders the world has ever known. Attila the Great conquered half of Asia and half of Europe and during his conquests, the most powerful nation at the time, the Romans paid him in gold and such just so Attila wouldn’t attack them 🌎✌️

@adamgal8246 this is just not true. Not only does Hungary hold no etymological origin in the term Hun, but 99.9% of attila history was told by the western world. And the Sword of Mars was very much a European myth surrounding his mystique
Atilla is only evil in the press of the peoples he defeated. If you want to get a real picture of him, it's worth reading, for example, the records of Priscos Rhaetor's diplomatic mission. It is a fact, however, that during his western campaign he did not destroy Paris, Troy, Orleans, Argentina (the unhealthily overcrowded and overbuilt city in which he opened wide streets and therefore is now called Strassbourg). He was the only conqueror who did not sack/loot/razed Rome, even though he could have. He founded the city of Udine, and the origin of the city of Venice can also be linked to him, as the refugees from Aquileia founded this beautiful city in the marshland of the Adriatic Sea. His army was the most capable in the world at the time, containing numerous Germanic, Slavic and, of course, mounted archer nations. His campaigns should be taught in military academies, because even at the technical level of today's world, it is an incredible challenge to move an army of one million for half a year over hundreds of kilometers of changing topography and river crossings in hostile terrain. The organization of such a campaign in the 5th century required brilliant logistics, supply management, armament preparations, strategic and tactical preparation, intelligence organization, securing the hinterland and diplomatic preparations. The descendants of the dynasty he founded (De Genere Turul) gave rise to the royal and noble families of the later Hungarian Kingdom (Hungaria Acrhiregnum, Regnum Marianum), of whom the Catholic Church canonized 27 Saints and Blesseds.
Genghis Khan's ancestor. Too bad Genghis didn't learn from his ancestors on how to pass the torch when he is dying. His children also ran the Mongol empire into the ground like idiots by fighting against each other with their armies like dumbasses and lost all of their soldiers, allowing the Russians and the Chinese to take advantage and take power from 2 sides
When people think of Attila the Hun, there is mixed reaction whether he was totally bad or not, but mention Hitler's name and there is no doubt you will get the same reaction anywhere in the world

Funny how people of certain cultures(Non-Whyte), get labeled as "Warriors" and not Villains. See, 2 can play at that game. You live in an inverted reality buddy. Last time I checked, Europeans are CONSTANTLY demonized for all the land they conquered, and peoples they defeated. Literally 24/7. So I don't know what planet you live on where European conquest is supposedly painted in a positive light. It is UNIVERSALLY condemned, while Asian conquest is painted mostly in an either neutral, or positive light. European countries are literally having all the statues of their historical figures destroyed and their culture's subverted, if you didn't notice. And you have the balls to say that they are somehow painted in a positive light? Wtf are u smoking? You don't even realize the irony of your comment. When Whitey does it, it's bad. When Asians do the exact same thing, it's good. That's literally your logic. Funny, I doubt you're calling the Europeans who conquered the entire planet, "Warriors".
@ScythianKing because mist of your stories are lies to make it seen it was noble and just....when it really was deceitful and dishonorable.... like Roman's etc....and as far as your statutes goes they only represent your wicked prospective on history, statutes and monuments normally represent the people as a whole and not colonizers are slave owners , what the fuck are you smoking cuz
I've learned over time throughout " history " that whoever the Europeans/Caucaziods label as " EVIL " are actually highly respectable and valiant people.
There is a story of the meeting between Attilla and Pope Leo, who was known as Leo the Great and was said to be a very holy man, that during their meeting a vision of St Peter holding a drawn sword appeared above the Pope's head and Attilla, seeing this extraordinary appearance, was persuaded to withdraw his army.
@@hungarienness in Nottinghamshire there was a legend of Roman treasure at the bottom of one of the lakes. No one ever found any, but one day the lake was excavated to make way for a road, and a hoard of Roman treasure was actually found. Sometimes legends can be true. But maybe what you're really saying is you have no faith, which is fine by me.
0. Leo was not a pope. 1. Leo was coming, and no Roman army. 2. Leo could not see St. Peter / angels above his head. 3. Atilla saw the miracle and listened to God's word: ... If you spare the dirty Roman dogs a descendant of yours will receive the Sacred Crown. And King St. István did. 4. Atilla's Hun army was the only military power that could destroy Rome and did not do it during the whole human history so far. 5. Only a miracle saved Rome from total and well deserved annihiliation by the Huns. 6. The winner of the Catalonian Battle was not the Roman army. 7. Atilla announced himself as the King of the World in Germany. Archiregnum.

No no, Bleda tried to have Atilla ambushed, and Atilla defended himself. This is how it happens in Age of Empires II and you can't convince me that isn't the most accurate historical account.
Those who write history can paint whatever picture they like. By the narrators own admission, the oral history of the Huns is lost. Thus, virtually everything we know about Atilla was written by his enemies. Calling him evil is at best, speculative.
Invading others and conquering them isn't exactly benevolent and friendly. How is killing others in their homeland not considered evil. What we do know is he expanded his empire therefore doing it by force, even if the specific details are unclear...
@@ryangreen1588 then ... shouldnt Alexander the Great... be not so great... and Romans who invaded tribes and massacred carthage..... but no one be calling them "warlords", or "evil".
I really think that Attila has more spotlight since he has more cruel deeds on ancient civilisation of the west, and even impact the western cultures. But Attila's ways have been the usual ways the proto-Huns did in the far east towards Han dynasty, killing their own family, inciting terror in the region then demand tributes, they seem really identical. These collection of nomadic tribes were put together via the method of tyranny, towards their own and to their enemies. And they are far more successful in the west than the east because they were no competitors that would copy their horse archery tactics, and no civilizations of the west nor tribes expected them.
weak cultures simply ask for such treatment as Turks said what is life without slave farmers only between weak you find "culture" and excusing being weak and rude
The Pope kissed Attilas Feet and asked him for mercy. That's why the popes nowadays are often kissing the feet of others to cover up the humiliation they got from Attila.

Bleda / Buda / was a sacred leader at Hunok who had to commit ritual suicide at the age of 35. His looted grave was found in a cave around Budakalász / Pilis, together with a glass of poison. It was a holy place to go there for a long time to pay homage to the Huns. The Hun had always had two leaders. Several Avar cemeteries have been excavated and genetics have confirmed Avar-Hun identity. Why is this important? When the King of France defeated the Avars, he took a lot of gold in plenty of chariots, and when he died, the love of Europe passed from him to several temples. Attila, as the legitimate leader of his people, took back the abducted Avar - Hun treasures.

Strange as they had rules like Don't break a branch of a tree without a reason, Dont hurt your enemy without a reason.... This is why they didnt rape or kill women, children. The aim was teach and lift up the occupied territory. You should do a little more research.
Totally inadequate. You left out one important fact. Attila was sent to Rome as a child as was a Roman child was sent to the Huns. Following negotiation of peace terms in 418, the young Attila, at the age of 12, was sent as a child hostage to the Roman court of Emperor Honorius. In return, the Huns received Flavius Aetius, in a child hostage exchange arranged by the Romans. That is how Attila knew so much about Roman tactics & strategy. You get the Do not Recommend.

The Nobility of Hungary is descendant of the Huna. The average Hungarian is Mayghar, a Uralic group. So yes and no, the Huns are the foundation of Hungary's political Dynastys but not the ancestors of the majority of the population. Kind of like the Ottoman, there are many Turks but not everyone is descendant of Osman Ghazi.
It always saddens me every time i see about the last years of the once mighty Roman Empire. their decline and subsequent collapse was a long, painful, and degrading process. from conquerors to paying annual tribute to bunch of nomads from central Asia.
The Huns are fascinating! Hard to nail down historically. Historians have noted the downfall of the Western Empire with the hundreds of pounds of gold and silver he hauled off! So much gold went east that for literally hundreds of years there was a coin shortage. Not until Charlamagne and ultimately the crusades did the west recover economically. This is why Byzantium went on another thousand years. Was its proximity to the east. After Atilla the West was broke!
@@bwhit6541 By the fifth century that was gone to the Vandals,Lombards @ Ostrogoths. They all came behind Atilla. Your referring to the 3rd and 4th century prior to that. Facts trump ignorance and arrogance. Rubbish goes in the trash bin.

It drives me crazy when these history videos don't tell you the years for the things they are talking about. In case anyone was wondering, Attila lived from 406-453CE.
You know, someone told me that actually the Huns were recovering what others stole from them(this wouldn't be the 1st time, look into the HolyCrown given back by Suleimani to I think 4th Bela). I Will look into this deeper, because it seems a bit odd to me that whilst a Hungarian peasant was able to read and write, the French King was illetarute and you want me to believe that the Huns were the nomads pilliging? As far as I know, in societies every century there was a plague that went trough most, yet you don't see them happen in Hungarian history, whilst aside the romantic city of love bs about Venice is still told, yet they still live around filthy 'canals'. This is why I Will look into it more so thanks for the video and God bless.
Absolutely continue to look into this and don't take my word for it but in my mind it seems to me you've stumbled onto a bit of Hungarian propaganda. While the Hungarians likely have genetic links to the Huns they are the descendants of the Magyar confederation which included a number of different nomadic tribal ethnic groups. At different points in Hungarian history the ties to the historical Huns have been exaggerated as part of national myths. If you look into other European countries you will notice that it's very common for each one of them, historically, to have similar national myths declaring themselves the heirs to the Roman Empire, special "chosen" people, etc. often because of some real or imagined connection they have to a migration era tribe.
@@matthewjohannes3509 Actually it is only a minority who believes,accepts the the hun relationship. No primary source,archeology or anthropological evidence supports the idea. This myth only appeared 4 or 500 years after the magyar conquest of the Carpathian basin, and that does not list any sources either, so it is completely unreliable.
@@matthewjohannes3509 Maybe you should go back in time and explain all this to the Hungarians who knew it differently for roughly 800 years. I am sure they will listen carefully.
Why though? Based on what? You know he learned the craft of impaling and cruelty from the Ottoman Turkish Sultan he was held captive by in order to keep the peace right? He hated them after that due to the endless torture he saw them engage and even delight in. So his impaling was learned behavior to scare away the armies that wished to do the same to his own people. Pretty common during that era, as much of the region was under threat from the Ottoman Empire.
By that account you could find others much more fitting for that "distinction", like Goering or Stalin. Vlad the Impaler was a zealot and for sure a very ambitious man. But i would argue that he didn't invent cruelty and maybe just added some personal flavor to what he learned from others of his time and before. He was royalty and an educated man nonetheless raised at the court of an empire.
Id say Nero of Roman empire was the most evil king in history, I also think Hitler and Stalin would make it in top 5. Vlad mainly killed Turks and he was kinda loved by his people
Huns are Xiongnu which is turkic(People debate over this but for me it is pretty possible because it connects just right with the turkic history) Some of them assimilated some of them didn't and some of them migrated to europe becuase of the chinese assimilation. But it is certain they were from central asia then mixed with the local people.
For us Turks he’s one of many great fathers we’ve had throughout history, if he was an Anglo or European you westerners would’ve seen him as a hero. But because you all had to submit to him makes him evil funny how that goes. Anyway fact remains Attila will remain the name of the Turk who’ll forever be remembered by the whole of mankind past present and future.
@علي ياسر Not really, you can tell the difference between a Greek a Persian and a Turk. True we (The Turks from 🇹🇷) do not excatly look like the Turks from Central Asia and Southern Siberia anymore because when the Seljuks conquered anatolia Turkic tribes started to settle all over anatolia. Which caused our facial futures to change after hundereds of years and marrying the local people had an big influence on it too. But today you can still see Turks with traces of our orginally asian facial futures. I still have relatives who look very Asian. I guess most Turks have like 40-65% Turkic blood and the rest mixed with the older local people. But at the end of the day we identify as Turks and no doubt our ancestors are from Central Asia. Ne mutlu Türküm diyene.
Summary This video explores the life and legacy of Attila the Hun, a great military leader who conquered vast lands and became a symbol of power and ruthlessness. The video delves into Attila's upbringing, his political savviness, and his conquests of Italy, Spain, Greece, and Hungary. It also discusses the Treaty of Margus and the subsequent conflict between the Huns and the Byzantine Empire. Highlights 🐎 Attila and his brother were raised as dual Hunnic kings, trained in combat on horses, caring for horses, sword fighting, archery, and the lasso. 🤝 The Treaty of Margus was signed in 435 CE, which increased the tributes the Romans would give to the Huns and enabled them to withdraw their troops from that region and send their forces onto Sicily, Carthage, and northern Africa. 💥 Attila and Bleda attacked the Byzantine Empire after the loss of Carthage and laid waste to it for the next two years, raiding, pillaging, and doing as much damage as possible. 🏰 Attila picked up some of the Roman tactics of fighting, including siege warfare, which proved to be very effective. 🌍 Attila's legacy lives on as a symbol of conquest and ruthlessness, and his name is still recognized today.
Military genus? He couldn’t even beat the romans on the battlefield. He swarmed his targets with horses and arrows not much to really think of . I’d like to see how the kingdoms in the Middle East would’ve delt with him .
CORRECTING ESTABLISHED HISTORY. It seems you have read, friend, Priskos Panita account of the meeting. You forgotten to mention the most important event. Attela's second in command and the most respected of all his generals was the Greek Onegisios who escaped the persecution of the Christian emperors. He married a hunnish woman and had many children. Attela, the only one who invited in his dinner table was Onegisios who had a marble bath in his house. His battle tactics he learnt them from Onegisios, that's why he respected him. Also from his friend Aetios. The 'Byzantine" empire, was not Roman, and not Byzantine - Napoleon said it about the Holy Roman Empire, that it was not Holy and not Roman - but the empire was a develish Christian Orthodox Empire. There were worst evil men than Attela...... Pizzaro, Cortez, Alvarado, Theodosios A' and B' , Justinian, Constantios, Pulcheria, Theodora, and more, all connected with Christianity.

@علي ياسر idgaf about the Romans
@Olaf charisma can go a long way and fool many
Atilla is only evil in the press of the peoples he defeated. If you want to get a real picture of him, it's worth reading, for example, the records of Priscos Rhaetor's diplomatic mission.
It is a fact, however, that during his western campaign he did not destroy Paris, Troy, Orleans, Argentina (the unhealthily overcrowded and overbuilt city in which he opened wide streets and therefore is now called Strassbourg).
He was the only conqueror who did not sack/loot/razed Rome, even though he could have.
He founded the city of Udine, and the origin of the city of Venice can also be linked to him, as the refugees from Aquileia founded this beautiful city in the marshland of the Adriatic Sea.
His army was the most capable in the world at the time, containing numerous Germanic, Slavic and, of course, mounted archer nations.
His campaigns should be taught in military academies, because even at the technical level of today's world, it is an incredible challenge to move an army of one million for half a year over hundreds of kilometers of changing topography and river crossings in hostile terrain.
The organization of such a campaign in the 5th century required brilliant logistics, supply management, armament preparations, strategic and tactical preparation, intelligence organization, securing the hinterland and diplomatic preparations.
The descendants of the dynasty he founded (De Genere Turul) gave rise to the royal and noble families of the later Hungarian Kingdom (Hungaria Acrhiregnum, Regnum Marianum), of whom the Catholic Church canonized 27 Saints and Blesseds.
He was also a major progressive leader especially compared to others of his era. He spoke softly and carried a big stick one could say.
wahooo bing bing bing wahoo le mongols le huns were le progressive???? heckin' chungus MODE!
@CountryBound keanu 100!!!!
Le huns and le mongols are 2 different things.
What makes him the most evil man in history???? How about king leopold of belgium????
I guess its about treachery with other kings, different types of evil. King Leopold got other's to do his evil. Atilla liked to get involved himself.

It is UNIVERSALLY condemned, while Asian conquest is painted mostly in an either neutral, or positive light. European countries are literally having all the statues of their historical figures destroyed and their culture's subverted, if you didn't notice. And you have the balls to say that they are somehow painted in a positive light? Wtf are u smoking?
You don't even realize the irony of your comment. When Whitey does it, it's bad. When Asians do the exact same thing, it's good. That's literally your logic. Funny, I doubt you're calling the Europeans who conquered the entire planet, "Warriors".

I've learned over time throughout " history " that whoever the Europeans/Caucaziods label as " EVIL " are actually highly respectable and valiant people.
There is a story of the meeting between Attilla and Pope Leo, who was known as Leo the Great and was said to be a very holy man, that during their meeting a vision of St Peter holding a drawn sword appeared above the Pope's head and Attilla, seeing this extraordinary appearance, was persuaded to withdraw his army.
This is a legend.

0. Leo was not a pope.

2. Leo could not see St. Peter / angels above his head.
3. Atilla saw the miracle and listened to God's word: ... If you spare the dirty Roman dogs a descendant of yours will receive the Sacred Crown. And King St. István did.
4. Atilla's Hun army was the only military power that could destroy Rome and did not do it during the whole human history so far.
5. Only a miracle saved Rome from total and well deserved annihiliation by the Huns.
6. The winner of the Catalonian Battle was not the Roman army.
7. Atilla announced himself as the King of the World in Germany. Archiregnum.

True warrior
I really think that Attila has more spotlight since he has more cruel deeds on ancient civilisation of the west, and even impact the western cultures. But Attila's ways have been the usual ways the proto-Huns did in the far east towards Han dynasty, killing their own family, inciting terror in the region then demand tributes, they seem really identical. These collection of nomadic tribes were put together via the method of tyranny, towards their own and to their enemies. And they are far more successful in the west than the east because they were no competitors that would copy their horse archery tactics, and no civilizations of the west nor tribes expected them.

Bleda / Buda / was a sacred leader at Hunok who had to commit ritual suicide at the age of 35. His looted grave was found in a cave around Budakalász / Pilis, together with a glass of poison. It was a holy place to go there for a long time to pay homage to the Huns. The Hun had always had two leaders. Several Avar cemeteries have been excavated and genetics have confirmed Avar-Hun identity. Why is this important? When the King of France defeated the Avars, he took a lot of gold in plenty of chariots, and when he died, the love of Europe passed from him to several temples. Attila, as the legitimate leader of his people, took back the abducted Avar - Hun treasures.

Totally inadequate. You left out one important fact. Attila was sent to Rome as a child as was a Roman child was sent to the Huns.
Following negotiation of peace terms in 418, the young Attila, at the age of 12, was sent as a child hostage to the Roman court of Emperor Honorius. In return, the Huns received Flavius Aetius, in a child hostage exchange arranged by the Romans.
That is how Attila knew so much about Roman tactics & strategy.

The Huns are fascinating! Hard to nail down historically. Historians have noted the downfall of the Western Empire with the hundreds of pounds of gold and silver he hauled off! So much gold went east that for literally hundreds of years there was a coin shortage. Not until Charlamagne and ultimately the crusades did the west recover economically. This is why Byzantium went on another thousand years. Was its proximity to the east. After Atilla the West was broke!

You know, someone told me that actually the Huns were recovering what others stole from them(this wouldn't be the 1st time, look into the HolyCrown given back by Suleimani to I think 4th Bela). I Will look into this deeper, because it seems a bit odd to me that whilst a Hungarian peasant was able to read and write, the French King was illetarute and you want me to believe that the Huns were the nomads pilliging? As far as I know, in societies every century there was a plague that went trough most, yet you don't see them happen in Hungarian history, whilst aside the romantic city of love bs about Venice is still told, yet they still live around filthy 'canals'. This is why I Will look into it more so thanks for the video and God bless.
Absolutely continue to look into this and don't take my word for it but in my mind it seems to me you've stumbled onto a bit of Hungarian propaganda. While the Hungarians likely have genetic links to the Huns they are the descendants of the Magyar confederation which included a number of different nomadic tribal ethnic groups. At different points in Hungarian history the ties to the historical Huns have been exaggerated as part of national myths. If you look into other European countries you will notice that it's very common for each one of them, historically, to have similar national myths declaring themselves the heirs to the Roman Empire, special "chosen" people, etc. often because of some real or imagined connection they have to a migration era tribe.

What makes Timur evil and not Atilla
I would have thought Vlad the Impaler would have earned the name of Most Evil Man In History.
Why though? Based on what? You know he learned the craft of impaling and cruelty from the Ottoman Turkish Sultan he was held captive by in order to keep the peace right? He hated them after that due to the endless torture he saw them engage and even delight in. So his impaling was learned behavior to scare away the armies that wished to do the same to his own people. Pretty common during that era, as much of the region was under threat from the Ottoman Empire.
By that account you could find others much more fitting for that "distinction", like Goering or Stalin.
Vlad the Impaler was a zealot and for sure a very ambitious man. But i would argue that he didn't invent cruelty and maybe just added some personal flavor to what he learned from others of his time and before. He was royalty and an educated man nonetheless raised at the court of an empire.
Vlad was on a much smaller scale

Huns are Xiongnu which is turkic(People debate over this but for me it is pretty possible because it connects just right with the turkic history) Some of them assimilated some of them didn't and some of them migrated to europe becuase of the chinese assimilation.

Summary
This video explores the life and legacy of Attila the Hun, a great military leader who conquered vast lands and became a symbol of power and ruthlessness. The video delves into Attila's upbringing, his political savviness, and his conquests of Italy, Spain, Greece, and Hungary. It also discusses the Treaty of Margus and the subsequent conflict between the Huns and the Byzantine Empire.
Highlights
🐎 Attila and his brother were raised as dual Hunnic kings, trained in combat on horses, caring for horses, sword fighting, archery, and the lasso.
🤝 The Treaty of Margus was signed in 435 CE, which increased the tributes the Romans would give to the Huns and enabled them to withdraw their troops from that region and send their forces onto Sicily, Carthage, and northern Africa.
💥 Attila and Bleda attacked the Byzantine Empire after the loss of Carthage and laid waste to it for the next two years, raiding, pillaging, and doing as much damage as possible.
🏰 Attila picked up some of the Roman tactics of fighting, including siege warfare, which proved to be very effective.
🌍 Attila's legacy lives on as a symbol of conquest and ruthlessness, and his name is still recognized today.
Military genus? He couldn’t even beat the romans on the battlefield. He swarmed his targets with horses and arrows not much to really think of . I’d like to see how the kingdoms in the Middle East would’ve delt with him .
Probably the same way they dealt with Genghis Khan, waiving the white flag...
Stopped as soon as "CE" was mentioned.
What is that?
Damn. What a horrible human
Thank you
I said no gold making some more stone need oil and greater man.
Why wasn't the clock mentioned that was given to him by the Arab leader at the time 12
President Joe the Hun is going for the title
At the last syllable of every word, the narrator's breath fades.
Yeah like reverse vocal fry lol
Atilla was the most evil man in history?
Hitler: Hold my beer
Stalin: Hold my vodka
Timurlane, Helugu, Subutai and when provoked Genghis Khan were more evil than all 3 of these guys lol
Atilla was a G.
And 90%+ Europeans are descendants of the Hun confederation.
You guys forgot Hitler as the most evil bastard ever.
not more evil or ruthless than the Romans
Bro keeps getting free shoutouts from Ski Mask the Slump God
The poorest relation of Attila and the Huns that I have ever seen or read.
Did they know it's Christmas? 🌲
Mao and Stalin hold my beer
The Huns and the Justinian plague was the main reason why the Slavs occupied the Balkans
glad this video didn't make the bias from roman sources that made him out to be evil constantly lmao
CORRECTING ESTABLISHED HISTORY.
It seems you have read, friend, Priskos Panita account of the meeting. You forgotten to mention the most important event. Attela's second in command and the most respected of all his generals was the Greek Onegisios who escaped the persecution of the Christian emperors. He married a hunnish woman and had many children. Attela, the only one who invited in his dinner table was Onegisios who had a marble bath in his house. His battle tactics he learnt them from Onegisios, that's why he respected him. Also from his friend Aetios. The 'Byzantine" empire, was not Roman, and not Byzantine - Napoleon said it about the Holy Roman Empire, that it was not Holy and not Roman - but the empire was a develish Christian Orthodox Empire. There were worst evil men than Attela...... Pizzaro, Cortez, Alvarado, Theodosios A' and B' , Justinian, Constantios, Pulcheria, Theodora, and more, all connected with Christianity.
And later king Leopold followed Hitler...
lol Attila save Hungary from Roman Imperial Hagemony and Other Barbaric tribes of Europe.
Ever hear of Ghengis Khan?
