Worst Era in history?

Question

what do u think is the worst era in history it can be either american or world wide

Answer 1

The first onslaught of the Bubonic Plague - - the Black Death - - in the 1347-1348 CE time period must have been a terribly frightening time in Western Europe with one out of every three or four people wiped out with a miserable disease that no one could understand. No treatment. No benefit of religion since the priests were among the first to go. [They tended to the sick and caught the disease.] Also, what they had for doctors (which was not much) was useless, and they died off quickly too. These plague years were also associated with climate changes - - so people were cold and hungry as well as sick and dying.
Ignorance, hopelessness, misery, and pervading fear were everywhere.

Answer 2

Clearly the Dark Ages. But the worst name for one is the "Era of Good Feeling."

Answer 3

The George W. Bush era

Answer 4

The fourteenth century, there was the Bubonic plauge, constant warfare, famine, economic faliure, religious upheaval, etc.
So not a particularly good century to be living in!

Answer 5

the italians overlook the middle ages as the people of the renaissance saw them as barbareic. so instead of considering the present the 21st century they only consider it the 5th (or there abouts) because they moved the start of their calendar to the beggining of the renaissance.

the age of protest....lots of pissy people starting revolutions...though you know standing up for yourself isn't a bad thing an environment that makes you want to revolt is.

Answer 7
