[quote=JOHNNY512,251513]In 96AD,the Han Army fought War With Xiong Nu(the Huns) in the north of China.The Han Chinese won the war and the huns were drivern to the Middle Asia. In 350AD,the Huns arrived at Europe. This war actually led to the openning of silk road. In search of allies against the Huns, the Hans were looking for the Yuezhi people, who left the Gansu after being forced out by the Hans. The Yuezhi is actually an Indo-European people, and they would settle somewhere in Pakistan and Afghanistan to create the Kushan Empire. In the attempt to establish contact with Yuezhi, which succeeded by the way, the route to the West was discovered, and this led to the Silk Road. And through this road, the Parthians got rich playing in between selling Chinese silk to the Romans and selling the Hans the Persian horses in exchange. Do you know this war? What is your view on this war? [/quote]
