People of the future could just as easiler call the 20th century the "Dark ages" as we had two great World Wars. Now we got extremely powerful weapons so who know what this century will bring yet.

 

 You clearly have no idea what the dark ages are or what the term means. The dark ages are a time in which scientific and other forms of progress seized and much of the history of the time was not recorded due to the lack of writing apart from monks. Thus its 'dark' as we don't really know much about it, and because much of the information from before that time was lost.

Now in the 20th century we had huge scientific and other forms of progress and history was documented, recorded, analysed and spread like never before. Its as far from the dark ages as the human race has ever been.

 War has nothing to do with the dark ages.
