Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is an open source platform based on Blockchain that allows the creation of smart contracts and has a fully functional Turing programming language.
A hard fork was made on Ethereum to resolve the effects of a malicious attack that targeted one of its applications (the so-called Decentralized Autonomous Organization, or DAO). However, a minority part of the community opposed the proposed changes to the blockchain, on philosophical grounds, claiming that such changes would affect its immutable nature.
Due to the fact that both the 'core' developers of Ethereum and the majority of the community carried out the hard fork, this minority group was left behind and continued mining without updating the software, giving rise to the network now known as Ethereum Classic. (ETC).
It should be noted that since the majority of participants carried out the transition, this majority has kept the original ETH symbol, while the minority that supports the previous version was renamed Ethereum Classic, ETC.

So a small group of developers created a fork of Bitcoin to develop a new slightly modified version.
The differences between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin are as follows:
