How it ended, as its article says
Partitioned by Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden, 1597. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was divided into Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden in 1597 (in a process called the Landteilung) as a result of the Swiss Reformation.
