Whig Split
The Whig Split occurred between 1717 and 1720, when the British Whig Party divided into two factions. One in government, led by James Stanhope while the other in opposition was dominated by Robert Walpole. It coincided with a dispute between George I and his son George, Prince of Wales, with the latter siding with the opposition Whigs. It is also known as the Whig Schism.
