1 answer:

7 0

The Consumer revolution changed society deeply because traditionally people used to spend money on farmland, houses, herds, and laborers. After the Consumer Revolution, people started to spend money on goods such as teapots, books, forks.

This changed society in the 13 colonies because people that could afford those luxury items before were only rich people, but mechanization, the factory system, made goods less expensive than before and lower social ranks were able to afford them. Now, other social ranks were able to afford goods that they could not before, ordinary men and women began to demand consumer goods that indicated their status.

What caused many people in the urban middle class to oppose Diaz's dictatorship and support a political revolution?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Porfirio Diaz was president of Mexico from 1884 to 1911, This was a time of great economic growth for Mexico, as the regime opened its doors to foreign investment, particularly in the mining sector. However, Diaz's policies promoted a strong centralized government, which would lead to an unequal focus on certain regions and economic activities of the country, leaving others exposed to impoverishment. The expropriation of peasants lands in favor of big enterprises enraged rural populations. Inequality among the regions and societies of urbanized areas was becoming more evident. This led to a series of manifestations against the government that would eventually lead to the end of the regime.
