The major difference is historical. Sunnis accepted the four consecutively elected Caliphs after prophet Muhammad death (Abou Bakr, Omar, Otman, and Ali). Shiites were of the opinion that Ali Ibn Abou Taleb (Prophet Muhammad Cousine and husband of Prophet daughter Fatima) should be the first Caliph (not Abou Bakr) after death of the prophet and that the subsequent Caliphs should be limited to prophet descendants. However, they didn't revolt against the elected Caliph Abou Bakr and even Ali Ibn Abou Taleb himself supported the elected Caliph Abou Bakr and was always consulted by the Caliphs Abou Bakr and his followers Omar and Otman. Ali was elected as the fourth Caliph.
