The 14th and 15th centuries were not the DARK Ages. The 15th century was actually the time of the Renaissance. The 14th Century was a pretty tough time in Europe because half the population died from the Black Death.Originally posted by Tonny Tssagovic:

Why were these years 5th Century to 7th Century called the Dark Ages ?
Who brought civilisation to / back to Europe. Not an Arnold Schwarzenneger throwback!

I often wonder myself. That makes me logically sane.
Is there a point to any of this?
Well , it looks as though nothing much happened in the 5-7 Century onwards.
Everyone homes in on the 14th-15th Century.
Everyone thanks for all the book references.
Jim, centuries that just interweaved is a bit sad.
Were the Dark Ages truly that dark ?

In the 15th century I managed to take back Hamburg from the Indians(led by Ghandi) and I ceded it back to Germany because I didn't want to fight a battle on two fronts.

This was a tough time for Europe. First the barbarians invaded. Then just when they stop, the Arabs invade. Then the Vikings invade. A lot of people talk about how Europe was so far behind the rest of the world. Well, who could blame the poor Europeans! They were constantly at war fighting off invaders.Originally posted by HS Thomas:
See, hardly the Dark Ages.
