The Dark Ages were a time after the fall of Rome. The Empire fell apart and culture more or less went backwards. Learning was lost and people endured wars as many different tribes and warriors plundered Europe and the Middle East of gold and other treasures.

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 also a term that has fallen out of use among historians.
