''6. Attila the Hun: discuss this remarkable person.'' Attila the Hun was an extremely amazing military general. Whereas other Hun leaders were satisfied with the tribute that Rome gave them, Attila was not, and kept asking for more, until the Romans could not give anymore, whereupon Attila invaded Rome. He ransacked Rome and only one general could really stand up to him (General Aetius). And he was killed by the hordes of Hun cavalry men. Attila was very big on discipline; he ordered all Hun children to have their cheeks slashed open when they were young, to boost endurance. His cavalry men were also well trained. They could go for days on horseback; the horsemen would drink the blood of their horses out of the horse’s neck when the Huns were riding to war. Attila kept conquering and would not stop. He was never satisfied no matter how much gold the Romans gave him. The only reason that Attila did not destroy Rome was because the Pope talked to him. No one knows what he said, but it persuaded Attila. | ''6. Attila the Hun: discuss this remarkable person.'' Attila the Hun was an extremely amazing military general.
