Detailed explanation-1: -The historical period between 1200 and 900 BCE has been labeled the “Greek Dark Ages ‘’ or (more precisely) the Submycenaean Period. After the Mycenaean Palaces fell, because of multiple devastating factors (such as war, bronze drought, water drought, and the destruction of trade routes), civilization thinned out.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term Greek Dark Ages refers to the period of Greek history from the end of the Mycenaean palatial civilization, around 1100 BC, to the beginning of the Archaic age, around 750 BC.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mycenae and the Mycenaean civilization began to decline around 1200 B.C. Mycenae’s people abandoned the citadel around 100 years later after a series of fires. It’s unclear what caused the destruction of Mycenae, though theories abound.

The poorer classes in Greece began to rebel against the aristocracy and the wealthy.
