Europe's much darker hours were the whole past 2 decades when it helped destroy those people's countries to "bring democracy" (and get cheap oil, control of the area, resources etc).

Then there was WWII, when most of Europe fell for nazism (only a handful of countries had widespread resistance movements), and killed several million people.
