Best Answer

The fall of Rome in 410 AD. All government and services were gone and the people had no protection from invading tribes.

Which is true, however they were never as Dark as we tend to think. It was during this time that the Vikings developed an Empire which included (parts of) Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Russia and the Lebanon (contemporary names used). Part of the problem is that the later historians were nearly all Christian clergy, therefore only too happy to present this period as a disaster era until Christianity conquered all.

The dark ages were a period of time in Western Europe, prior to 1000 AD, known as such because of the general lack of highly centralized government as was known under the Roman rule. This was caused by a falling apart of the Roman empire, which was caused by a number of circumstances, one being the pressures put on the Roman Empire by migratory tribes from eastern Europe (the Huns, Vandals, Visigoth, etc.). The dark ages were categorized by localized government, lower trade, some loss of scholarship, and migratory movement of people groups.
