Are there historical examples of countries or kingdoms that did a complete 180 on their old allies - not counting vassals or similars changing one master for another?

We don't have an Ask Historians yet, so I think this is the best place to ask at the moment

  • The Sino-Soviet split is similar. Neither was the other's "master," but relations deteriorated.

    • Though the split happened because the Soviets thought they should be master of all Communist countries and the Chinese had different ideas on the topic.

      • It's a lot more complicated and messy than that, and for what it's worth they nearly repaired relations before the USSR dissolved.
