History

Historical Context

Amazon opened as an online bookseller on July 16 1995 and introduced the paid Prime membership in 2005, establishing a model for deep-discount events. Walmart’s first major price-cut clash with Amazon came in October 1998 when it sued the startup over alleged trade-secret theft. Both firms now run seasonal sales—Walmart’s Fall Sale and Amazon’s Prime Day—continuing a decades-old rivalry that helped shape today’s holiday-shopping calendar.
