The Treaty of Verdun "divided the Carolingian Empire into three parts".

Explanation:

The Treaty of Verdun divided the empire which was built by Charlemagne  into 3  portions. These 3 portions was ruled by Charlemagne's three living grandsons. It was considered as a significant because it not only stated the beginning of the empire's dissolution, it gave out the general boundaries of what could  individually become nation-states of Europe.

Under the terms of  treaty of  Verdan, Lothair was permitted to have  the emperor  title , but he doesn't had any real authority over his brothers. He took the central part of empire including  parts  Belgium and  Netherlands, western Germany,  some of eastern part France, a substantial portion of Italy and most of Switzerland. Charles had  the western part of empire, which had most of France,and  Louis was given the eastern part, which consisted the most part  of Germany.
