The Dark Ages happened because of the new value in culture after the collapse of the economy. The Dark Ages were characterized by deeply sad mental thoughts and incredibly detailed but dark artwork.

∙ 14y agoIf you would consider the fall of Rome to be the start of the so called Dark Ages then there could be many answers to this question. The true question would be what civilizations is responsible for the fall of Rome. No one has an exact answer and there are many theories to this. A simple answer would be that the combination of barbarian invasions and over expansion caused the fall of the Roman Empire. In this case then it is the both the Roman civilization as well as the Germanic Tribes and other barbarian cultures that were invading at the time that caused the fall of Rome.
There is no exact reason and many scholars now do not use the term Dark Ages or the Fall of Rome as both of these terms do not accurately describe the situation. It is popular to say that "Rome was not built in a day" but it is also accurate to say that "Rome did not fall in a day" as well. Nor do the Latin World fall into darkness because of the actions of a single civilization.
