I would say that the fall of Atlanta opened the way for Sherman.

What caused the split of the south in two and opened the way for shermans invasion of Georgia?

This could refer to the liberation of the Mississippi, which isolated all Confederate forces West of the river, and gave Grant the credibility to become General-in-Chief, in which post he supervised Sherman. Or it could refer simply to Grant's dividing-up of the remaining Confederacy into two areas - Virginia, where he would attend to Lee, and Tennessee/Georgia where Sherman would attend to Joe Johnston. Remember, Grant never ordered an invasion of Georgia. He just told Sherman to destroy the Army of Tennessee, wherever he found it. It was when Sherman failed to achieve this that he worked out his new strategy of attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies in the field. Grant was initially sceptical of this, but fortunately Sherman carried high credibility with him.


What caused the south to split in two and opened the way for Sherman's invasion of Georgia?

The South didn't split in two. Grant had identified the two main armies to be destroyed, and simply concentrated on them. He would attend to Robert E.Lee, while Sherman would handle Joe Johnston (later John Hood.) When Hood's army proved elusive, Sherman decided to follow his capture of Atlanta by laying waste to Georgia, knowing that there were no substantial enemy forces to stop him.
