The correct answer is: Consumers buying goods on credit.

The growth of prosperity of the United States in the 1920s led to the development of American Consumerism in the period also known as the <em>Roaring Twenties</em>, due to technical advances and fresh ideas in the communication, transportation, and manufacturing areas. Americans advanced from the conventional avoidance of debt, to the concept of buying goods on credit with partial payments, or credit installments. President Harding's economic policies during the 1920s contributed to the rise of consumerism; manufacturers also encouraged consumerism by offering a greater variety of goods at fair prices. Advertising and marketing abilities via the 1920s newspapers and the radio saw a huge increase in sales by means of consumer credit.

American Consumerism in the 1920s led to the obsession with the purchase of consumer goods. Much of the Consumer Society was raised on easy consumer credit. American who were once prudent bought most of their more highly-priced goods on the installment plan, paying some money at first and then paying monthly payments for one to five years. Easy credit via installment plans saw a huge increase in consumer condition of owing money, together with a significant decline in consumer savings.

For most of the 1920s, the growth of credit affected the stock market because investors, also, bought more stock on margin causing the stock market to arose. During the 1920s more people began to acquire shares of stock using credit. A problem for the people who bought stock on credit was that if the stock market collapsed they would owe more than they could repay. The excess of the 1920s and the Consumer Society ended unexpectedly with the 1929 Wall Street Crash; this crash led to the downfall of many Americans and was followed by the Great Depression, which witnesses the end of consumerism in the 1920s.

What does Cortés tell Montezuma that is a complete lie?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

In 1519 the conquistador Hernan Cortes advanced deep into the kingdom of Montezuma in an attempt to seize his treasures. He tried to stop Hernan Cortes' attack on his country and sent messengers to Cortes and begged him to return to Spain, offering him valuable gifts of gold and colorful feathers. But the gifts increased Cortes' curiosity and greed, so he proceeded to force many Indians to join his army. Montezuma respectfully waited for Cortes and his army outside the city.  

In the face of Cortes' attack, Montezuma did not dare to do anything to drive out the invaders. Because according to an ancient legend, the natives believed that sons of the Sun, white gods from the East, would come to occupy the country. The Spaniards invaded the temple during a ceremony and killed the entire Mexican aristocracy. Cortes forced Montezuma to persuade his former nationals to surrender. But the people ignored him. It is claimed that he was stoned by the natives. A horrible bloodshed ensued in which Cortes proved his courage, as it is a real miracle how he managed to escape from the insurgent city, cross the entire enemy country and reach the shore again. Of course he soon returned with new troops and destroyed the prosperous city. Montezuma, according to others, died of starvation because he refused to eat because of Cortes's insult. There is a newer view that he was assassinated by the Spanish conquerors.
