Event Description
Attila the Hun fought the Roman Empire and met the pope. The Mongol Empire of the 13th century conquered China and attempted 2 invasions of Japan. At first glance it would seem that these two empires have nothing in common. And yet they have the same origin. The Eurasian steppe is a gigantic stretch of land going from the Pacific coast of Asia all the way through Central Asia and Russia to modern day Hungary (a country named after Attila). And it is in these lands that the Eurasian steppe nomadic people would occasionally coalesce into terrifying armies of conquest. They would over the centuries be given different names and have leaders that have been burned into the consciousness of world history. This is their story from Jem Duducu’s new book The Devil’s Horsemen.
