TRUE
Did the sunnis believe that all caliphs are descendants of Muhammad's son Ali?
None of the 5 rightly-guided caliphs were Ali's sons as they were too young. The first caliph after Muhammad (peace be upon him) died was his best friend and long-term supporter Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)
Why was the spread after muhammad's death important?
Prophet Muhammad wanted to secure the spread of Islam after his untimely death. For those that follow the Shia theology, the Prophet declared Hazrat Ali as his successor. The majority Sunnis, however, dis not believe in this and only believed in the Sunnite of Muhammad. This means there were no successors but only Caliphs or heads of states that helped spread the faith globally.

How did shi'a and sunni groups arise?
The major difference is historical. The Shiites did not agree on the elected Caliphs (who followed Prophet Muhammad after his death). They believed that the Caliphs should only be within Prophet Muhammad descendants and family. Accordingly, they were supporting Ali Ibn about Taleb (Prophet cousin and the husband of his daughter Fatima) to be the first Caliph. However, they didn't protest against the elected Caliphs (Abou Bakr, Omar, and Ottman) and even Ali, himself, was good supporter and adviser to the three Caliphs until he was elected as the fourth Caliph. However, Both Sunnis and Shiites believe that no God except one and only one God, the Creator with no partner, no father, no son, no companion, no associate, and no resemblance and that prophet Muhammad is His messenger and prophet. They both believe in God Angels, all God prophets, all God holy book, the Day of Judgment, and destiny. They believe in the five Pillars of Islam. They both face the direction of Kaaba when praying. They pray in any mosque regardless the praying leader is Sunni or Shiite. They may differ in some minor details of rituals but these details are not critical to neither the Shiites nor the Sunnis.
How are the Shiite and Sunnis different?
What needs to be understood that as far as the religion is concerned they have almost everything in common (upto 90%). However the major difference arises out of their understanding of history . They both interpret it differently. For the sunnis the history is a 'golden period' and for the Shiites the 'golden period' ended with the departure of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). The shiites believe that The Prophet's son-in-law Ali was his rightful successor whereas the sunnis believe that the Prophet's successors were the four rightful caliphs Abu Bakar , Umar , Uthman and Ali.

However, they didn't revolt or demonstrated against the elected Caliphs. Ali (God be pleased with him) himself supported the three Caliphs who cam after the prophet and he (Ali) was the fourth caliph.

What are the two major divisions of the Muslim Community?
That would probably be Shiites and Sunnis. Both pray to Allah(swt) and follow the prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Shiites insist that true leaders of Islam must be descendants of Ali, the fourth caliph and Muhammed's son in-law. By the way, Sunnis account for about 85 percent of the world's Muslims while the Shiite Muslims Account for about 15 percent of the world's Muslims.
