Only Sunnis agreed on Abu Bakr as first Caliph after prophet Muhammad death. The Shiites believed that the Caliph should from the prophet family and accordingly they supported Ali to be the first caliph and not Abu Bakr. However, the Shiites accepted the majority selection of Abu Bakr and supported him and Ali (God pleased with him) was a closeadviser to Abu Bakr.

Did Sunnis split from Shiites over the battle of Karbala?

Answer 1Yes. However, there was no real split between Shiites and Sunnis. It is just some different views over some side issues that are not critical.Answer 2No. The split between Sunnis and Shiites occurred nearly 30 years earlier when Abu Bakr was elected by the Shoura Council to the position of Caliph against the will of Ali's supporters. Those supporters rejected the decision of the Shoura Council and became the Shiites. The Battle of Karbala crystallized this division since Ali had, by then, been assassinated, and his son Hussein (who was the next candidate supported by the Shiites) was butchered by the Caliph Yazid I without Sunnis rejecting Yazid's right to the Caliphate.


Why do some Shiites hate Hazrat Abu-Bakr Hazrat Usman and Hazrat Ali?

I am not aware of any Shiite who hates Caliph 'Ali. Perhaps you are asking why some Shiites hate Caliphs Abu-Bakr, 'Omar, and 'Othman. Those Shiites who do opposed these leaders do so because they believe that Mohammed intended 'Ali to succeed him and these three individuals conspired with other Muslims to prevent 'Ali's ascendance as Caliph. They consider the shura or election that led to Abu-Bakr's appointment and the direct appointments of 'Omar and 'Othman to be a violation of the true nature of Mohammed's succession.
