From 3000 BC to 1100 BC Greece had only just began to develop by getting help from the Minoans that lived in Crete and the Mycenaean that lived in the main lands of Greece. During the Bronze Age in 1200 BC the Trojan War broke out between the Mycenaean and the Trojans of Troy.

The reason why this era is known as the Dark Ages is simply because the Greeks began to forget how to do certain skills suck as metalwork, writing, art, and some farming skills. These skills being forgotten sat the governmental balance scale out of order and caused others to try and achieve the power of being a one-man leadership.

One of the most popular events in Greece known to man happened in the Archaic Period, for it was when the Spartans and the Athenians gained control over all of Greece’s surrounding city-states and due to the fact that these two groups were the most violent of groups in this era it set another age into motion and we call this age the Age of Tyrants.
