It is unparalleled with any other historical event involving political outcomes leading to geographical division.
Identical with America’s Revolutionary War which wasn't initiated by electoral results but by discontentment under British rule.
Mirroring how Russian Revolution resulted in Russia’s exit from World War I without an election process involved.
