I know there were still other competitors like Amiga, but it seems that by 1993 the market had generally settled on those two platforms. Why did the other companies like Atari, Commodore, etc fail to unseat Microsoft and Apple?

I understand the facts about the Trail of Tears (or the removal of native Americans from the SE US in 1830). But I don't feel like I've contextualized what it actually was. If you asked me, I'd have said it was a bunch of native Americans living in teepees and wearing skins, who were driven at gunpoint as they walked barefoot to Oklahoma.

But the more I read, the more it seems like the native Americans actually lived among the whites, with western clothes and dress (and often customs), so the act of removal uprooted neighbors, employees and townspeople. Not that this changes how bad it was, but it tearing apart American society makes the act somewhat different.

I don't know, can someone help me understand this better?

additionally it'd be interesting to here the bathroom habits of other cultures and eras. Feudal Japan?

When I mean safer, I mean buy them to keep them away from awful slave masters. I am currently watching roots, just watched 12 years a slave and am wondering if there are any nice people...

Edit: I meant civil war, I'm terribly sorry, autocorrect got me.

Both sides claim victory while its regarded as a stalemate. Why is it considered a stalemate and why couldn`t either country have a clear victory over the other.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to post these kind of questions, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

In every highschool history class in america we learn about WWII and Vietnam, and yet, the Korean War is never mentioned? what is it about this war that makes it seemingly less significant? and what important lessons could we learn from it?

It seems that movies and Disney made their image much more different than the real ones, with those nice clothes and free lifestyle, drinking rum and stealing things... How REALLY were they?

I can't point to a hard and fast cut-off, but it really did seem to get cut off somewhere. There's been nobody with a widely applied and mostly agreed on name like "Alfred the Great" or "Henry the Navigator" or "Pepin the Short" in what seems to be centuries. Why?

Did they deal with anti war sentiments from their country? When I hear of a Vietnam veteran, I don't think of a Taiwanese soldier or an Australian. What were their experiences like?

Just as people spice up their rhetoric by comparing an opponent Hitler, I'm wondering if there were other world leaders before Hitler that were used in this way.

For example, the flags of New Jersey, Wisconsin, Maine, Delaware, and New York are quite similar, with two people standing opposite a seal on a solid colored field. Why is this?

Why do so many state flags look so similar?

Was two cities really necessary? If so, why?

If not, why?
