(I already made a thread on the Battle of The Catalaunian Plains a few months ago, but i think it's already too old to be bumped.)
What if Attila, The Hun, had managed to defeat Flavius Aetius and his germanic foederati allies at the Catalaunian Plains in 451 AD? Would this spill an earlier end to the Western Roman Empire?
What are the effects on the germanic migrations? Would the huns, as an ethnic group, be able to form a more cohesive state, from the corpse of the WRE (especially if Attila dies later than OTL)?
What are the effects on the Eastern Roman Empire?
 
Seems to me that the question is if Attila still has forces for keeping his germanic auxiliaries in line, and then doing the push for Rome.

It wasn't significant. The Catalaunian Planes didn't really threaten the Roman government per se, and Attila's empire was just as unstable as that of Alexander and broke off immediately after he died. It's also debatable whether the Romans even won. I would argue it was a draw and even a possible victory by the Huns.

So yes, you can rest assured your Aryan bloodline and your precious Western European civilisation would have remained pure from Hunnic and Asiatic contaminations.

That second paragraph was below the standards of civility expected of members of this board.
