Yes it was done by 51% attack. The chain split into ETH and ETC.

Not every chain split is a 51% attack.

    Sure, some chain splits fail to get any significant support, so they don't reach anywhere near 51% of mining power. This one did. Hence, it's called a "51% attack".

      Nope. None of what you're saying is correct.
