What is another name for the dark ages?

Answer 1

The Dark Ages were a period in post Roman Europe in which the institutions of learning and enlightenment fell away as indigenous populations began to take back their lands from the Romans. Education of children and men were no longer priorities, additionally most of Europe reverted to an oral tradition and writing in this period became more scarce. Skills like writing and record keeping were kept alive by religious men such as monks. The Dark Ages did not last for too long, the rise of Germanic kingdoms in mainland Europe, especially the Franks created large states capable of maintaining institutions and Charlemagne, the great king, began to reinstill the value of education in his Frankish kingdom.

Answer 2

Dark Ages were times when few records were kept.

There have been a number of times called Dark Ages. One was the Greek Dark Age, from about 1200 or 1100 BC to about 800 or 750 BC. But when the term appears without any modifier, it usually is used to indicate the period from 476 to 1000 AD, which is also called the Early Middle Ages, or from 300 to 700 AD, which is called the Age of Migration.

Answer 3

The time period of Medieval Europe has sometimes been referred to as the 'Dark Ages'. This is because invaders swept across Europe causing trade to decline, thus cutting Europe off from the advance civilizations in the Middle East, China, and India. Towns emptied, and very little emphasis was put on education during this time. This loss of classical learning deployed a period of intellectual "darkness" which is why the name 'Dark Ages' is very fitting.
