What are the two main groups in Islam and what gave rise to their split?

The two main groups in Islam are Sunni and Shia. Their split originated from a disagreement over the rightful successor to the Prophet Muhammad after his death in 632 CE. Sunnis believed that the community should choose the leader, leading to the selection of Abu Bakr as the first caliph, while Shia insisted that leadership should remain within the Prophet's family, specifically favoring Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law. This division has led to distinct religious practices and interpretations within Islam.

Who is the Empire of Islam?

I think you mean to say "Who is the Emperor of Islam", and there's no such thing, at least in the present day. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) led all Muslims, and after he died there was Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. Then the Shia split off and things split up. Today you have political leaders- kings and presidents- who control different countries, and religious leaders- sheikhs and imams and such- who have followers, but no real control over them. So yeah, Islam doesn't have any centralized authority, like Catholicism does.
