So my fucking history teacher just said there was a dark age after the fall of Rome. How do I fucking BTFO him and prove him wrong, he says that until the Caroline Resistance there was a dark age and people on his say it's not true. What can I say to fucking BTFO him and prove him wrong?
Bump

There was a dark age. People got butthurt because of 'Eurocentrism' because the dark age wasnt across all of the former roman empire but scrubs like you took them to mean that there was no 'dark age' period.
Youre wrong. Your teacher is right.

No he's not. I know the "dark ages" had a flourishing of Christian knowledge

>Constantine
>Epic
He takes a hell of a long time to say nothing.

>Caroline Resistance
There was a dark age in western Europe between the fall of Rome and Charlemagne, thanks to lack of literary sources from the period and constant warfare created by the power vacuum. It however pretty much ended with Carolingian empire, so it doesn't encompass the entire medieval period like libcuck idiots love to believe.
Who's Caroline and why did she resist?
>>594489
It was the name of the empire that had a resistance that ended the dark ages
>I know better than my history professor because I read /his/.
If you want to refute someone you must do your own research or you will make a fool of yourself and learn nothing.
Just find some Irish scholar, they'll tell you all about the one time their island was relevant

Were they before the Caroline Resistance?

>people on his say it's not true
People here say that the idea that the whole medieval period was a "dark age" is not true
>>594519
Yes, they sparked it by emigrating to Carolina
EARLY MIDDLE AGES

I'm Irish. At the time we were basically a bunch of Celtic savages. The only civilization here and in Britain was limited to monasteries, which definitely were important centers of learning and produced some of the best art of their time (in Europe, at least). But the very fact that the greatest centers of learning in Western Europe consisted of a few tiny monasteries on the edge of the known world is basically proof that Dark Ages absolutely did exist, in the West at least.
I'm pretty sure OP's post is bait anyway.
