There was a need for a replacement of the DC-9 and that's where Fokker and McDonnell Douglas teamed up. The Fokker 100 is a derived of the Fokker 28 which needed to be replaced also. I don't know the details of why they didn't continue but the MD-80 is and Fokker 100 share the same basics.
I do know why they split up, McDonnell Douglas wanted to make a 120+ passenger aircraft while Fokker wanted to max out at 100 passengers.
