Solomon and his father David were heads of a loose federation of Hebrew tribes, known to the Egyptians as Habiru - brigands and herders who were in the Judean hills. The stories of their grand kingdoms are much exaggerated - there seem to be no remains of Solomon's many palaces. The successor chiefs split into two groups - the 10 tribes of the north (Israell) and the two tribes in the south (Judea). It was after that that Solomon's successors established real kingdoms, and they were soon taken over - by the Assyrians in the north, and the Babylonians in the south, then both by Persia.
The word "Jew" derives from "Judah," one of the 12 Tribes of Israel. When the Jewish Kingdom split into two after the death of King Solomon, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the Southern Kingdom, which was called Judea, and ruled from Jerusalem by descendants of King David. In 722 BCE the Assyrians conquered and dispersed the Northern Kingdom (hence the "Lost Tribes of Israel"), leaving Judea as the sole Jewish nation, and its people known as Judeans - or, eventually, Jews.
Northern and southern states
North Vietnam persevered over it's Southern counterpart in 1975 with the 'Fall of Saigon' thus unifying the the two countries .
If you are referring to the Roman empire, no one split it into two pieces or two parts. The emperor Diocletian divided it into four parts which was called the tetrarchy. It was later historians that gave the false impression that the empire was split.
The two tribes, Judah and Benjamin, were collectively called Judah or Judea. See also:More about the split
The two tribes that remained in the southern kingdom of Judah were Judah and Benjamin.
The southern two-tribe kingdom was called Judah and it consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Additional Comments: Though directly after the split in Israel with Judah and Benjamin remaining in what would be called the Southern Kingdom, the Levites (priests) were soon banned from the Northern Kingdom and went to the southern parts. As with any country of mixed peoples/tribes, there will always be some of every tribe remaining in the South due to marriage, business or just their living place.
Yes, the two tribes of the southern Kingdom (also known as the Kingdom of Judah) were Judah and Benjamin.

Rehav'am (Rehoboam), the son of King Solomon, became king over the southern kingdom, after the ten northern tribes broke away under Yerav'am (Jeroboam). The southern kingdom, known as Judah, consisted of Judah and Benjamin, two tribes, and continued until the First Destruction a few centuries later. Whereas the ten northern tribes were collectively called Israel, and went lost after their exile, which occurred about 275 years after the split (133 years before the First Destruction).
After the death of King Solomon, the Hebrew nation split into two kingdoms. Two tribes, including the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Jacob's youngest son Benjamin, formed the Southern Kingdom of Israel. The other 10 tribes, centered around Samaria made up the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In the year of 722 BC, the Assyrians conquered the Kingdom of Israel and sent the ten tribes into exile leaving two tribes left.
Africa and South America are split between the southern and northern hemispheres.
Yes, but they were split into two countries.
After Solomon's death, Israel split into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Israel now had ten tribes and Judah had two.

If the split is complete then it's just two continents with names of their own (the current condition of the world). If they're in the process of splinting, the split is called a rift valley (biggest ones today are in Africa).
