 Hundred-Year Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hundred-Year Darkness, also known as the Second Great Schism, is a fictional conflict from the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
It was during the Hundred-Year Darkness that the founders of the Sith Empire, Jedi such as Ajunta Pall, would fall to the dark side of the Force, and, after decades of bloodshed, at last be exiled by the Galactic Republic to the galaxy's Unknown Regions.
The concept of a war lasting for about a century is possibly based on the historical Hundred Years' War.

 Norwegian literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibsen characterized this period as "Four Hundred Years of Darkness." During the period of union with Denmark, Danish replaced Norwegian.
The year 1905, when Norway was free from the union with Sweden, marks a new period in the history of Norwegian literature.
In the Twentieth Century two Norwegian novelists won Nobel prizes in literature in recognition of their strength: Knut Hamsun (for the book "Markens Grøde" in 1920) and Sigrid Undset (for the trilogy of Kristin Lavransdatter and the two books of Olav Audunssøn, in 1927).

 Living Death - History of Gothic Earth
As the Dark Ages saw chaos and anarchy spread throughout Europe, foul agents of darkness and supernatural horrors established themselves in all corners of the known world.
Hidden in the enclaves of monastic life, secluded in forgotten caverns at the heart of dark forests, and cloistered in the libraries of countless rulers who had long been puppets of the Red Death were the secrets of mankind's inner strength.
Although it survived for only a few hundred years, the contributions of The Phoenix to the survival of mankind and the eternal war against darkness cannot be overstated.

 Jonathan Power, Haiti 200 years of independence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
After the 14 years of Francois Duvalier (Papa Doc) and the 15 years of his son, Jean-Claude (Baby Doc), leaders came and went and did so with astonishing frequency until in 1991 came the victory in a rare election of the "hollowed-cheeked, goggle-eyed, wide-mouthed" revolutionary, ex priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
It took 18 years for the Americans to conclude they were on a voyage to nowhere.
Eighty years later the U.S. repeated the experience after an invasion eased yet another military man from power and the then deposed Aristide was reinstated.

From the perspective of such critics Kurtz in Heart of Darkness is simply an embodiment of the weak idealism that is incapable of sustaining the ideals of European imperialism in the face of "the horror of tropical forests and loneliness among savages" (Russell 87).
A year after his return to Europe Marlow finally summons the strength and courage to visit Kurtz's Intended She seems to be the only reason why Marlow did not die with Kurtz.
Note how her forehead, which is the centre of the deepening darkness of her room, is smooth and white, the colour of Kurtz's skull, and also the colour of ivory which sparks the expanding gloom of an inverted civilizing mission.

The old woman loved children and would exchange their fallen baby teeth for gold coins, earning her than witty title of the "tooth fairy." But fate screwed Matilda like a cheap whore when she was caught in a fire and was burned so badly that to go into the light meant excruciating pain.

Darkness Falls is presented in a new "special edition," sporting a few supplements that you can watch in exchange for a single molar.

 Man’s Natural Blindness In Things Of Religion  --  Jonathan Edwards
Many nations are under popish darkness, and are in such gross delusions that they worship the Virgin Mary, and a great multitude of dead men, whom their church has canonized for saints, some real saints, and others abominably wicked men.
And are zealous to uphold and propagate it.

 Heart of Darkness [Conrad]
And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.
But there was in it one river especially, a mighty big river, that you could see on the map, resembling an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea, its body at rest curving afar over a vast country, and its tail lost in the depths of the land.

There is a theme of darkness as well, Henrietta’s mother warns her that she will "ruin her eyes in such bad light" and winter afternoons are described as lasting "a hundred years." Darkness could be a metaphor for an age of little knowledge or advancement.
The darkness can be considered a symbol of the mother’s ignorance of her son (or old technology’s) uselessness.
The buildings were tottering; the computer screens were as dark as our grandmother’s cupboards.” (pg 11) This quote as well as the rest of the passage seems to depict technology and its relation to the modern world in a negative tone.

And yet, according to the theories of evolution, the dinosaurs disappeared millions of years before man was ever on the stage.
So today we have this strange situation of the geologist assigning millions and billions of years in order to give time for evolution to take place and the evolutionists assigning billions of years to allow those strata to build up so that the geologists won’t be embarrassed.
Half of that thousand years, of course, would have to be dark and the other half would have to be light.

However, put this way, this view is clearly at odds with the vision of those advocating multilateral and transnational projects of the sort we're describing here (other sorts of multinational projects are of course possible, which would not be shaped by the ideas behind Collectivist Internationalism).
They want to transcend the nation, and given the history of the last couple hundred years one can see why they would reach that conclusion, even if one disagrees with it.

 TR 4/2003: Steffen Werner: Hundred Years of War against Germany
In the year 1933 they still spoke in Warsaw of Polish Pomerania, but now they say 'our Pomerania.' Beck makes a purely Polish policy, ultimately an anti-German policy, a policy of only a seeming Polish-German détente, since the occupation of the Rhineland and the French passivity at the occasion of this event.
The continuity with which these ideas are pursued from 1895 to 1994 is alarming, and the matter-of-fact attitude with which not only the ideas, but also their acceptance, are still presumed in 1989 by a probably broad public of a British weekly paper.
The few hundred Great Families who ruled England for many generations and had experienced the ascent of the country to the zenith of its glory, were related by marriage to the utmost degree.
