History For the uninformed, nations split because of linguistic, cultural, etc divergence leading in time to culturally-defined communities that are sufficiently distinct from one another to be classed as different nations.

It is not always all about war!

In 1776, the USA split from the UK

In 1830 Belgium seprataed from the Netherlands

In 1965, Singapore split off from Malaysia

in 2002, East Timor got split off from Indonesia

In 1921, Ireland split off from the United Kingdom, and (possibly in the future) there will be secession of Scotland.

In 1944, Iceland split from Denmark with remarkable ease.

In 1905 Norway split from Denmark

In 1905, Norway and Sweden also peacefully split ways. One got the car. the other got the kids.

In 1947, the British India Dominion was partitioned into India n Pakistan. In 1971, Bangladesh secceeded from Pakistan.

In 1992-93, the two parts of Czechoslovakia agreed to each go their own way. Thus were born the Czech Republic and Slovakia after what's been named the “Velvet Divorce”., About the same time, another kind of separation occurred, of course, in Yugoslavia. This one led to a bloodshed.

in 1965, Singapore split from Malaysia for a variety of reasons, including religious (Malaysia is majority Muslim, Singapore isn't), ethnic/racial (Singapore has a very large majority Chinese population) and concerns over the Malaysian Bumiputra policy, which was (and is) basically a form of "Affirmative Action" for Muslim Malaysians - who make up the majority population in Peninsular Malaysia.

Ethiopia and Eritrea

Sudan and South Sudan are now separate countries

USSR is now broken down into several countries.

Nigeria is also towing the same path to separation!

Rome separated from Italy without a single shot on d air..

As far as Nigeria is concerned, secession is equal to war. You don't cut the North out from oil and access to sea and think they will go without a fight.
