It is the word the English used to describe the Germans during the World Wars. Its use evokes the archetypal enemy invaders (the Hun armies, especially Attila the Hun).fritzman wrote:I somehow missed this part of KvRs history, where does this "hun" thing come from (saw it the first time in putte's context) and what exactly does it mean? And yes, I prefer "real" answers although I think I couldn't get any on this subject
On July 27, 1901, during the Boxer Rebellion in China, Kaiser Wilhelm II gave the order to "make the name 'German' remembered in China for a thousand years, so that no Chinaman will ever again dare to even squint at a German". This speech, wherein Wilhelm invoked the memory of the 5th-century Huns, coupled with the Pickelhaube or spiked helmet worn by German forces until 1916, that was reminiscent of ancient Hun (and Hungarian) helmets, gave rise to the later derogatory English usage of the latter term for their German enemy during World War I. This usage was reinforced by Allied propaganda throughout the war, prompting hatred of the Germans by invoking the idea that they were brutal savages.
