ABSTRACT
State partition is a very broad political category. Since the ancient times, historians have cited several examples of state partition, which have been provoked by different events, which took place under different circumstances, and which had different impacts. It should suffice to remind ourselves here of the partitions that characterized the fate of the great political constructions from Alexander the Great to the Holy Roman Empire, and from the Asoka Empire to the Djaghatai’s Khanat. In a sense, partition is a historical destiny, which has traditionally affected states when unable to survive their founder, to resist external attacks or inner rivalries, to preserve an efficient administration, or simply because they were divided among their heirs. In this perspective, partition sounds like an event, that simply requires an observation and a record.
