<P> The Huns may have stimulated the Great Migration , a contributing factor in the collapse of the Western Roman Empire . They formed a unified empire under Attila the Hun , who died in 453 ; after a defeat at the Battle of Nedao their empire disintegrated over the next 15 years . Their descendants , or successors with similar names , are recorded by neighbouring populations to the south , east and west as having occupied parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia from about the 4th to 6th centuries . Variants of the Hun name are recorded in the Caucasus until the early 8th century . </P>
