What does the term Dark Ages mean in early medieval?

In the "dark" opposite of light. The world fell into chaos and darkness with the fall of Rome.


Is it true or false that from 1100-750 bc the Greeks went through a difficult period of time called the Dark Age?

The period from 1100 to 750 BC in Greece is called the Greek Dark Ages, but since there were other periods in other places also called Dark Ages, it is a good idea to be careful about how the name is used. It is probably best not to use the term "the Dark Ages" to apply to the Greek Dark Ages, because most people who use the term without qualification mean Western Europe during the period of 476 to 1000 AD. It is also a term that has fallen out of use among historians.


What were the middle or dark ages?

Many people use the two phrases the same way. But as far as professional history writing goes, the Dark Ages was the Early Middle Ages (476-100).AnswerYes. AnswerThere are clearly some who make the names interchangeable. In the UK, and some other places, the term Dark Ages covers the years from the fall of the Roman Empire to the Norman Invasion, 476 to 1066, and the Middle Ages is from the end of the Dark Ages to the 15th century, making them two entirely different periods.In the US, and some other places, the term Dark Ages has been condemned by historians, and the term Early Middle Ages is used instead. By this thinking, the Dark Ages is an old term for the first half of the Middle Ages.No, the dark ages are known for being an era of ignorance and a small collapse of civilization after Rome's downfall. It has a lack of records.The middle ages is reguarded as the rebirth of society. It created a new era of creation despite being torn by war.The main differences is warfare and technology.Politically the remained similar.Most people who use the term Dark Ages intend it to mean dates from 476 to 1000 AD, with the Middle Ages coming after, from 1000 to 1453. There are a lot of different starting and end dates for these ages, but these are typical.The term Dark Ages has been going out of use, because it is misleading. Many historians use the term Early Middle Ages for the time, with the High Middle Ages from 1000 to 1300, and the Late Middle Ages from 1300 to 1453. This system makes the Middle Ages a time from about 476 to about 1453. Again, there is variation in the dates.


Why is medival called medieval?

How come there were Christians in the dark ages as Christ had not been sacrificed then?

If, by "dark ages," you mean the period of cultural decline that took place in Europe in the Middle Ages, Christ's sacrifice took place hundreds of years prior. He was crucified around the year 30 AD; in other words, the first century. Europe's "dark ages" took place between the 5th and 15th centuries.


What was the era before the dark ages?

The Renaissance time period came after the Dark Ages. ----- It seems most people who use the term Dark Ages are talking about the Early Middle Ages, which is a period from about 450 AD to 1000 AD. They call the following period the Middle Ages. Some people would have the Dark Ages coincide with the Age of Migration, from about 300 to 700, and this would mean it was followed by the second half of the Early Middle Ages, which began with a time called the Carolingian Renaissance. Other people would have the Dark Ages be equal to the entire Middle Ages, so it would be followed by the European Renaissance. I think most historians do not use the term Dark Ages.

Why did the early part was so Dark ages?

I think you misunderstand the term "dark ages". It doesn't mean the world was dark or without light, but that people were living in chaos without government that wars were going on all around them, the Vikings were raiding villages and churches, and that learning had stopped. The Roman empire had fallen and with them went civilization. No roads were repaired, no army protected, and it was every person for themselves.


What happened in the dark ages?

Perhaps the most commonly used dates for the Dark Ages are 476 to 1000 AD. The term Dark Ages is used for a time when there was little recorded history; it was a time that was obscure. People who use the term Dark Ages usually mean the time between the fall of the West Roman Empire and about 1000 AD. This time coincides with the Early Middle Ages. Other people use it to mean the entire Middle Ages. Some use it to mean very restricted times within the Early Middle Ages. It is not a term with an accepted, precise definition. Those historians who are most interested in the history of the Byzantine Empire have used the term Dark Ages to mean the period from about 630 to 800 AD. There were other periods also called Dark Ages, such as the Greek Dark Ages of about 1100 to 750 BC, because there was little recorded of the period.
