Who were the Big Endians and Little Endians?
Introduction: The debate on the breaking eggs in the novel is an interesting incident. This is quite odd to the audience. The country of the Lilliputians was threatened by external invasion from the island of Blefuscu. Blefuscu is a powerful country as big as the island of Lilliput
Big Endians: Both countries are involved in fierce conflict over the issue of breaking eggs. The Lilliputians had a primitive way of breaking eggs before eating them at the larger end. Those who follow this rule are called Big Endians.

Little Endians: But when the present emperor’s grandfather was a boy, he cut off one of his fingers while breaking eggs in primitive ways. Then the contemporary emperor immediately ordered that all eggs should be broken at the small end. Anyone who refuses to do so will face severe punishment. Proponents of this rule are called Little Endians.
The result of the fight
The common people were so enraged that they staged several revolts for which the king lost his life and crown. This civil war was raised and intensified by the kings of Blefuscu. The rebels fled and took refuge on the island of Blefuscu. It is known that eleven thousand people have died several times over breaking eggs on the small ends. Hundreds of large volumes have been published on this debate, but books on Big Endians were forever banned.
