Once the Sassanids regained their strength, they attacked under Yazdigird II. He pursued the war the rest of his reign, but it was up to his son Peroz to finish it off. After Peroz won against the Kidarites, he turned his eyes to the larger threat, the Hepthalites. Anyone knowing Sassanid history knows how that turned out for him. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
