Edit: The "Dark Ages" refers to the period between the fall of Rome in the Fifth Century and the reestablishment of social order about the year AD 1000. It corresponds to the movement of Germanic tribes into Britain and the western Roman Empire and the consequent destruction of the central authority. It was a period in which Islam was growing to it's height and Roman civilization and power was at it's nadir. The Crusades represent the resurgence of European power and the beginning of the Rennaisance.
