From the grand halls of the Congress of Vienna to the colorful lithographs of China, the concept has shaped world history. In 1815, the Kings Cake was cut, marking the division of the French Empire following the Battle of Waterloo. Willem Basse's lithograph "The Partitioning of the Globe between Spain" illustrates another significant territorial shift. The Dutch political cartoon "Dees Nederlandsche Koe, altoos Waereld-grooten" satirically depicts the power struggles of the time. The first partition of Poland in 1772, as shown in Le Mire's engraving, is another historical example. Today, the image of a stretcher in a hospital treatment area, sectioned off by curtains, serves as a reminder that even in the realm of healthcare, the need for partitioning and division persists.
