Best Answer

The Great Schism was in 1054 between the Roman (Latin) Church in Italy and the Byzantine (Greek) Church in modern Turkey today. The Christian Church split along doctrine, theology, language, politics, and geography. This would eventually lead to the development of the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Another famous schism was in 1378 AD when there were 2 Popes - an Italian named Urban VI and a Frenchman named Clement the VII. It took 40 years to fix this split.
