I don't believe that a hard fork necessarily results in a split of the chain. If all miners accept the hard fork then there is no split in the chain - new block

I don't believe that a hard fork necessarily results in a split of the chain. If all miners accept the hard fork then there is no split in the chain - new blocks require miners. My understanding is this has happened before.
