Italy, twice, on both world wars.

Italy, both world wars if you count that

Yeah, pretty much standard in hostile regime changes. ROC to PRC, Russian Empire to USSR, Italy multiple times, happens literally all the time in third world countries where regimes are toppled by first world backed forces to install a government more friendly to said first world country (pretty much exactly what happened in the US tbh)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.
