Almost every empire helped develop mankind, some more then others. Before Rome there where huge rapid advancements by the Greek, Egyptians, Persians and some others. After Rome came to power advancement became slow and rare because the Romans like things the way they are. They did build roads and such but philosophy, science, religion and technology didn't really improve. (I consider getting the pagan human sacrifices over as an advancements in religion).
For recent history, the 1930's sucked. The Great Depression, the rise of Hitler and Fascism, Stalinist purges all over the world. But it's so hard to pinpoint the worst era as a whole. If one lived in Zimbabwe, they would say it's the worst time in history for them. In the US, the 1620's were pretty bad. It's all a matter of perspective.
I don't think Zimbabwe is in the worst era of its time. Its finally starting to show signs of development in modern times. Slow, but its there. All there was before is Colonisation eras and ancient tribe cultures that go way back. Maybe the colonisation eras were better but even they were then not by much. And don't loot at it in the sense of wars and peace, in the 1620's the avrage life expentancy for a newborn was around 20-30 years in the most developed parts of the world. Before it the number was even worst and only around the 20'th century did the number start to rapidly increase.
Well, if we are going to pick the worst era shouldn't we choose an era where everyone was greatly affected not specifically biggest tragedy or economy crash for example WWII was pretty bad I know it wasn't an era but, an example where everyone was impacted.
