Also known as Great Hun Empire, Xunnu, Xiongnu Empire
북아시아 스텝지역에 존재한 유목제국
The Xiongnu were a powerful confederation of nomadic tribes who lived on the Eurasian Steppe from around the 3rd century BC until the late 1st century AD, eventually forming an organized empire under their leader Modu Chanyu starting in 209 BC. They matter because they represent one of the earliest and most significant nomadic powers in Eurasian history, and their rise fundamentally shaped the political and military landscape of ancient Asia.
