Japan and Italy were allies during WWI, enemies during WWII.

Russia and China were allies during WWII, enemies during the Cold War.

I expect down the road, Turkey will be another “ally” that will eventually become our enemy.

Japan and Italy were allies during WWI, enemies during WWII.

Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy were allies during WWII - until Italy changed sides late in the game.

Russia and China were allies during WWII, enemies during the Cold War.

The Soviet Union and China were technically allies during WWII for only a couple of days - namely only after the U.S. dropped the A-Bomb on Hiroshima, whereupon Stalin finally declared war on the Empire of Japan (which had already invaded China many years prior).

The Soviet Union and China were fast friends for the first decades of the Cold War. During the 1960s, relations cooled. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were "enemies."
