Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, 451 (ALL PARTS)
The man who defeated Attila the Hun DOCUMENTARY
The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, (AD 451), battle fought between the Huns under Attila and a mixed Roman and Visigoth force under Aetius and Theodoric I; checked the Hunnic advance in Europe. The battle, long-remembered for its ferocity, resulted in Attila’s defeat, though the casualty figures in traditional accounts are probably exaggerated. The Huns’ defeat prevented the widespread destruction and spoliation of Gaul, but it is unlikely that Attila’s horde could have made any deep impression upon the Latin and urban character of the country.

Despite all the European / Roman fanboys coping, the fact that Attila marched to Rome one year later proves who won the battle.
At best it was tactically inconclusive, strategic Hunnic victory.
Great video
Its intriguing how they had to rely on the Goths, Alans and Huns for manpower instead of domestic troops like Julian had. The situation must have been pretty dire.
is this a synthetic voice its rather uncanny
