I'm not sure what you mean by "let's you and him fight", but it is
|
|
important to remember that England was in control of Ireland
|
|
for 300 years, and that it was only thanks to the distraction of WW I
|
|
that the south managed to gain its independence. If you mean
|
|
splitting countries upon arbitrary lines and assigning different groups
|
|
to opposite sides of the line, it also seems to have not worked in
|
|
India/Pakistan.
|
|
I suppose Canada, which is supposed to be a "loose confederation" of 2
|
|
founding nations (French and English) can be cited as a success. The
|
|
jury is still out, but so far only a few brief rebellions and
|
|
referendums and such, still together after 130+ years.
