Was the war with the Xiongnu a civil war or a foreign war?

From the perspective of Chinese history, the wars that preceded the Opium War in 1844 were basically civil wars. It is true that the Xiongnu and the Han are not the same nation, but this is not the fundamental reason, but because the Xiongnu represented a kind of grassland culture in ancient times, and the war with them was to protect the stability and prosperity of the Chinese nation and prevent the country dominated by agricultural civilization from being infringed. This is a kind of war between the advanced productive forces and the backward productive forces, please note that the historical war against the Xiongnu mostly used the term of resisting foreign invasions, and rarely used the term of attack.

The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were Mongols, not the Xiongnu, and if you don't even know the difference between them, then please don't talk about history. They may indeed be inextricably linked, but this link has been very thin over the centuries in the context of migration and exchange. If it is said that it is either ruled or colonized by the Han Chinese, then China has been colonized more than once or twice.

After the two Han Dynasty, the Han people and the Hu people north of the Yangtze River interbred, and even the blood of the Tang Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty had the blood of the Xianbei people, and China was also colonized when it was the most prosperous. Colonization was the process by which a great power sought and gained possession of economically and politically and culturally underdeveloped areas abroad. In this sense, neither the Yuan nor the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as colonization.

It belongs to the civil war, and all belong to the part of the Chinese nation, the five Yis of China.

1) The concept of the landlord is one-sided, it is wrong, if you are in your opinion, then the Tang Dynasty is not a dynasty, because his origin is not in the Central Plains, the Yuan Dynasty is a unified multi-ethnic dynasty, which has an important position and role in Chinese history, and the Hui people were formed at that time.

2) That is not a glorious thing, nor is it a happy thing, as a ** centralized country border trouble has always been a factor that endangers stability, the Xiongnu as part of the five Yi of China, the development of civilization is not as fast as the Central Plains, the Qin and Han dynasties are a major factor threatening the ** regime, but with the development of history, the integration of nationalities, and finally the formation of the current Chinese nation.

3) The last sentence of the landlord is only the personal opinion of the landlord!

1.Traditional history books classify the Xiongnu as a foreign race, which is opposed to the regime of the main body of the Han nation, so it is a foreign war; Most modern historiography believes that the Xiongnu nation continued to merge with the Han nation for thousands of years, until the Xiongnu, a single nation, disappeared in the long river of history, belonged to the category of the Chinese nation, and belonged to the civil war.

2.The first statement of the questioner I think is very inexplicable!! When did the Yuan Dynasty rule the Xiongnu? From the establishment of the Mongol Empire by Genghis Khan to the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty and the juxtaposition of the four khanates, there was no longer the existence of the Xiongnu nation, and another Xiongnu was ruled by the Yuan Dynasty?

3.Those who know history know that from the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, the dog Rong has been a huge threat to the Central Plains regime, and the Xiongnu are a developed branch of the dog Rong. Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms until the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the Central Plains regime has always been in a defensive position, the turmoil of the Western Weekend to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty for six or seven hundred years, the ** regime can no longer recover its national strength in the short term, coupled with the traditional conflict between nomads and farming peoples, many conflicts between the two sides are absolutely inevitable.

As a party that has been attacked by the Xiongnu for a long time, the damage suffered by the Central Plains regime is not calculated by Daoli, so taking the initiative to attack, defeat, and attack the Xiongnu is called an important means to restore the authority of the first regime and maintain the stability of the Central Plains regime.

Finally, what does it matter if the Chinese are hypocritical or not? Under certain historical conditions, if the history is that the Central Plains Dynasty was beaten or even perished, what would you be like in which era? Empathy, friend!!

I'll you, it's really not easy for you to think of this.

But if you lived in that era, you would have become so hypocritical.

Everyone is a child of God, and there is nothing wrong with everyone.

The fault lies in God's creation of a world full of falsehoods and contradictions.

Of course, it was a civil war, and the Xiongnu were an ethnic minority in China at that time.

1 The Yuan Dynasty ruled by the Mongol Kublai Khan, Genghis Khan killed all over the north and south of the Great River to unify China, and Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty.

2 The Xiongnu often bullied small countries, and China was right to help, promoting national integration, diplomacy, and thus strengthening national strength.

It depends on how you look at it. If you look at it purely from the perspective of the Han people, it is a foreign war. If you look at it from the perspective of the Chinese nation, it is a civil war. Looking at it now, it was a civil war (to take care of reality), and from the reality of the time, it was a foreign war. History is inconclusive and serves reality.

At that time, it was a foreign war, but now it is a civil war. It can only be said according to the different times.

Foreign wars. Without planning, the Huns were barbarians. Not recognized by the Central Plains. Don't we often talk about the great integration of peoples? Now it's the product of fusion.

The ruler of the Yuan Dynasty was not the Xiongnu, he was a Mongol, maybe the Mongols were the descendants of the Huns, but the Mongols are now one of the 56 ethnic groups of the Chinese nation, so it is not a foreign war.

In fact, Yuan was only one of the khanates of the Mongol Empire at that time, but because it was Kublai Khan who became the Han of the Mongol Empire at that time, some people thought that Yuan was Mongolia, and it was difficult to say whether it was colonized or not. It is recommended that you search Yashan and then learn about China.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty because of the "Beacon Fire Drama Princes", which led to the invasion of the Xiongnu without the Hou Lai Qin King, Guanzhong declined, and had to move the capital to Luoyang, which was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty from then on.

The overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong, put forward the slogan of "respecting the king and conquering the people", expelled the Xiongnu and became the overlord.

In order to fight against the Xiongnu, King Zhao Wuling of Zhao State implemented "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" and became a powerful country.

The famous general of Zhao State, Li Qi Wumu, defeated the Xiongnu many times and built the Great Wall in the north, and Qin Yan and other countries built the Great Wall at that time.

In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent the famous general Meng Tian to lead an army of 300,000 to attack the Xiongnu, and built the city of Quiet Nachangqueqing, and also sent the prince to help the Su army.

It's good to learn a little bit of history.

Because there was no foreign race of the Xiongnu at that time, and the strength of the Xiongnu was relatively large, everyone did not take it to heart.

Before the Han Dynasty, it was actually a relatively chaotic situation, so there was no hidden danger in this regard.
