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? (programming.dev)

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.
