The Dark Days are the days in which the thirteen districts of Panem rose up and fought against the dictating Capitol. However, they did not succeed in defeating them, and district thirteen was destroyed, therefore the Capitol started the yearly Hunger Games, where they remind the twelve districts of what they went through, telling them not to do it again. In The Hunger Games, each district must send to the Capitol one young man and women, between the tribute ages of twelve and eighteen, to be trained in the art of survival, and to be prepared to fight to the death.

A long time ago in Panem, the dark days happened. During the dark days, the citizens of Panem rebelled against the capitol. The capitol forces the districts in line and make sure the dark days never happen again by holding the Hunger Games.
The Districts rebelled against the Capitol. In punishment the Capitol destroyed District thirteen and created the Hunger Games, as a way of saying that the "Dark Days" can never be repeated.
The Dark Days were a period in Panem's history about 74 years before the beginning of The Hunger Games book when the 13 districts rebelled against the Capitol. The districts were defeated, and District 13 was supposedly destroyed. As a punishment for the Dark Days, each district must send two tributes, one boy and one girl between ages 12-18 to the Hunger Games every year.
during the dark days, the district fought the capital and after that they started to have the hunger games to show them that the capital is like, better and stuff.
mr.everdeen was katniss father,before his horrific death in the mines of district 12 when katniss was 11.the memory of him makes several appearances throughout the series, with katniss metioning such features as his singing voice,his attractiveness,and his teachings for her.
The Hunger Games began in Panem, which is the future ruins if North America. There are 12 districts. According to President Snow the Hunger Games was started as a reminder of the "dark days", and a reminder that the capital controlls the people and a reminder for them not to rebel. It is also entertainment for the capitol. Have fun reading! :)

To remind the Districts that they did not win the war of the Dark Days.
Because the Capitol does not want the Dark Days to repeat!
it is leaving in 200 days
19 days and counting.
The purpose of the book is to entertain readers. The purpose of the games within the book is so that the Capitol can get revenge on the Districts for their rebellion long ago.
