what are huns
The Huns were a nomadic group of people who are known to have lived in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia between the 1st century AD and the 7th century.ince Joseph de Guignes in the 18th century, historians have associated the Huns who appeared on the borders of Europe in the 4th century AD with the Xiongnu (howling slaves) who had invaded China from the territory of present-day Mongolia between the 3rd century BC and the 2nd century AD.
