Abstract

The emergence of war with neighbors, internal conflicts and the emergence of conflicting centers of power due to the weakness of the central government, the rebellion of the Ghezelbas, the independence of local rulers and looting of some border tribes during the turmoil, the causes of urban imbalance and low This period counts. The present study is an interdisciplinary study; This means that it will rely on sociological studies of the lower classes and historical study and will use an explanatory and interpretive approach in the field of historical studies. This study seeks to answer the question of how the impoverishment of urban society occurs as a result of power struggles? And what were the consequences of subjugating the people in reproducing more conflicts? Also, what was the political reaction of the lower classes in the face of their unhealthy situation? This article has reached the general conclusion that in this period, the urban masses increasingly lost their existence and financial support and did not have the opportunity to revive financial resources and return to a balanced life, and some of them to the bottom of the social hierarchy. They fell. Decreased quality of life led to an increase in the number of urban downtrodden. In such circumstances, the lower classes, in order to change their situation and improve their situation by joining and accompanying some of the protests and social riots of this period, also resorted to acts of violence.
