It was not a split, the Eastern Orthodox left the Catholic Church over a number of issues, unfortunately, most of them were political. Over time, they have assigned some religious issues, but for the main part, they were political.
from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957
The Schism of the East the estrangement and severance from the Holy See of what is now called the Orthodox Eastern Church was a gradual process extending over centuries. After a number of minor schisms the first serious, though short, break was that of Photius; from then on tension between East and West increased, and the schism of Cerularius occurred in 1054. From then on the breach gradually widened and has been definitive since 1472. There was a formal union from the 2nd Council of Lyons in 1274 until 1282, and a more promising one after the Council of Florence from 1439 to 1472. After the capture of Constantinople it was in the Turkish interest to reopen and widen the breach with the powerful Roman church; the patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were dragged into this policy, Russia and the Slav churches stood out the longest of any: none of these churches, except Constantinople itself in 1472, formally and definitely broke away from the unity of the Church. But in the course of centuries the schism has set and crystallized into a definite separation from the Holy See of many million people with a true priesthood and valid sacraments. The origins, causes and development of the schism are matters of much complication, still not fully unraveled.
from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Separation of the Christian Churches of the East from unity with Rome. The schism was centuries in the making and finally became fixed in 1054, when the Patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularisu (died 1059), was excommunicated by the papal legates for opposing the use of leavened bread by the Latin Church and removing the Pope's name from the diptychs or list of persons to be prayed for in the Eucharistic liturgy. A temporary reunion with Rome was effected by the Second Council of Lyons (1274) and the Council of Florence (1439) but never stabilized

What two branches of Christianity were formed in 1054?
In 1054 Christ's which (except for small groups of heretics and the Oriental Orthodox) was generally undivided and truly one split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox would see the division this way: before 1054 there was just the Orthodox Church. After 1054 there was the Orthodox Church and the heretical church of the Patriarch of Rome, which would eventually call itself the Roman Catholic Church. The Romans would say that prior to 1054 there was just the Roman Catholic Church and then the Orthodox split off becoming a separate church. The way I, an Anglo Catholic, see it was that they both split from each other creating the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Neither church really existed as a separate denomination before. The denominational terms came into existence because of the tragic split.
