dark ages begin in Europe because the great civilizations of Greece and Rome fallen. And the life in Europe was very hard. Very few people could read and write and nobody expected conditions to improve. The only learning that took place was religious and clothing was made out of mostly wool and flax. :(There were a number of things which led to the decline in European social organisation, and what was known as the Dark Ages
The first was the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
The second was the extended pandemics of the Plague, which broke out regularly over Europe for a period of a hundred years during the sixth century.
And the third was the peculiar and extreme climate changes which seem to have commenced sometime around the year 530 AD, and resulted in a 'little ice age'.
These together produced a decline in agriculture, depopulation and the breakdown of society, known as the dark ages.
And not forgetting the Church, the rise of Christianity, which spread to most corners of Europe and became the accepted philosophical and religious system.
As a result, the big thinkers of the early medieval ages(450 AD to 1085 AD) were theologians, who were interested in understanding the makings of the spiritual universe and our place within it, rather than the details of the physical universe.
We can thank Petrach, who in the 1330's coined the phrase 'Dark Ages' so beloved of Victorian historians.
Modern Archaeology is beginning to prove that it wasn't so dark, maybe a little bleak.

∙ 14y agoThe middle ages or dark ages began in 410 AD with the fall of the Roman Empire. At that point any government or services were gone and people had to protect themselves from the Barbarians that were invading. So, Europe fell into a 1000 years of "darkness". 90% of the people couldn't read or write, it was a feudal society, and the Catholic church governed everyone.
