wait, xiongnu was like a pre-mongol horde like nation right?

2019-01-22 23:32:34 UTC  

confused them for a chinese dynasty

2019-01-22 23:32:45 UTC  

in the Manchuria area?

2019-01-22 23:33:11 UTC  

They were proto-Turks.

2019-01-22 23:33:33 UTC  

The Xiongnu diaspora displaced the Iranian and Scythian steppe populations.

yep

2019-01-22 23:34:07 UTC  

The Han drove them out of Mongolia.

2019-01-22 23:34:14 UTC  

its kinda depressing, seeing how the russianization of the altaics basically wiped out their culture

2019-01-22 23:34:29 UTC  

Xiongnu=my ancestors

tfw before ottoman collapse the turkics were called turks and the turks were called ottomans

The han drove them out of Mongolia long after it was called Xiongnu, dare I say China only conquered Mongolia after the fall of Yuan Dinasty

2019-01-22 23:37:24 UTC  

China was conquered by xiongnu relatives *twice*

2019-01-22 23:37:28 UTC  

first mongols

2019-01-22 23:37:29 UTC  

No Chinese dynasty ever conquered Mongolia, both the Yuan and Qing were foreign.

2019-01-22 23:37:33 UTC  

then manchus

reminds me of Mulan

2019-01-22 23:38:43 UTC  

always thought that trainer guy was saying Huns instead of Hans

2019-01-22 23:39:12 UTC  

like what the fuck is Attila doing in China

2019-01-22 23:39:41 UTC  

lol

2019-01-22 23:39:53 UTC  

The Huns were mongols

2019-01-22 23:40:15 UTC  

Hun is theorized to come from the Chinese word Xiongnu, but I doubt Disney was doing that consciously.

2019-01-22 23:40:21 UTC  

HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN VILLIAN

2019-01-22 23:40:31 UTC  

They probably picked Huns just because it sounds cool.

The Xiongnu -> Huna -> Huns

2019-01-22 23:40:50 UTC

2019-01-22 23:41:09 UTC  

wait, you mean I was right

2019-01-22 23:41:14 UTC
