Has the majority of one country ever forced the minority of that country to break away and form their own country?

Your problem in this question is that there is to almost never going to be peaceful functioning members of a nation state that become there own nation without expressing some discontent about being that nation.... there have been new nations formed by parent countries who were not really troubled by the region (still gained more from it than they lost) but there was discontent in the region.
