The Roman and Visigothic victory over the Huns at the Battle of Châlons in 451 halted Attila’s westward expansion and marked the beginning of the end for his empire. While the battle didn’t outright destroy Hun power, it shattered their aura of invincibility and forced Attila into retreat. This defeat disrupted their momentum, and two years later, in 453, Attila’s sudden death plunged the Hun empire into chaos.
Châlons. June 20, 451 AD.
Roman and Visigoth Forces: Unknown.
Hun Forces: ~ 100,000 Men.
