The Classical era Dark Age @1600-1,000 BC was caused by the eruption of Thera.
The Dark Ages that more people are familiar with was bracketed by the plague epidemic onsets of 536 and 1347. Numerous volcano eruptions and Earthquakes set the stage and preconditions for the initial outbreak of plague. You can go to the original hard copy sources or just use wikileaks but the pre-germ theories of these two Dark Ages have been disproven.
