It was certainly due to the weight of the flooded hull, but probably aggravated by very poor rivets and a likely design flaw regarding the expansion joints. The ship broke at the joint, which was heavily modified on the Britannic and reworked on the Olympic.
the titanic did not split in half it got a hole in it because it hit an iceberg
No the Titanic did not spilt. On the star board side there were two big openings.
The hull of Titanic split (but not in half) just a few minutes before 2:20 AM on April 15, 1912.
It hit an iceberg and split in 2 and it sunk.
After Titanic sank in 1912, there was some debate about whether she split or not. Even Second-Officer Lightoller denied that she split at the inquiry, but at least 53 survivors testified/asserted that the ship broke. How she sunk could not be proven, tho, until 1985 when her wreck was found.

One of the theories wrt the titanic sinking was that poor quality rivets had caused the hull plates to split at the seams as opposed to being torn apart. This would have meant that the long gash had needed less force to split open.
The Titanic was a luxury liner.The liner to my pool has split and it is now leaking water.
