I think that you focus to much on the bloodyest civil wars and not
enough on the democratic separation. The closest , the
Tchecoslovaquia, may be you will say than this one was not done by
referendum, but it was done peacefuly because the logic of
incompatibility between the two peoples was understand by both of
them. Before, it was the the Island with the Danemark and Sweden with
another one, I thing it was with Norway but I am not sure. I do not
want to make a contest on history with you it is not the point but
just remember to you that some others ways are avalable. Do not forget
the old tag: Never cry wolfs...
