Shiites were people who would call themselves Muslims in Islam when they really weren't. Sunnis were people in Islam who would follow their prophet Muhammad's Sunnah or actions and be great worshipers of Allah (their god) and would have respect to their prophet. They also outnumbered the Shiites.
The split between the Shiites and Sunnis was that Shiites believed that Ail should succeed him and that the future caliphs should all be Ail's descendants. Unlike the Shiites, the Sunnis wanted the Umayyad dynasty as their lawful caliphs. Over the years, the Shiites and Sunnis started making different customs and traditions and so,they were split.
The Shiites thought that all caliphs should be descendants of Ali, while the Sunnis who outnumber Shiites thought otherwise.
