I think dispensationalism became so popular in evangelicalism here in the states predominantly because the issue of the day was the authority, inspiration, and inerrancy of Scripture, which the dispensationals, to their credit, fought vehemently to defend, and therefore other aspects of their teaching were more readily and uncritically accepted by those who wanted to defend a high view of Scripture.

The two main tenets of Dispensationalism, in my view, are:

1. There are two peoples of God (ethnic Jews and Gentile Christians), with different destinies, purposes, and (in some flavors) different Messiahs

2. An 'overly literal' way of reading Scripture, particularly the prophetic books

Oversimplification, but those are the main things.
