Answer

Wow, this looks like a high school essay question if I've ever seen one. I'll get you pointed in the right direction but not really answer it in full for you.

First of all, I don't believe the Cold War can be summed up as a single ideology but rather a battle of 2 ideologies. One being the ideology of democracy and free market economy. The other being communism and a state run economy.

As for the breakdown of wartime alliances... The United States and the Soviet Union were allies with a common enemy in Nazi German during the war. After the war there was no more common enemy, just two new superpowers with opposing ideologies on how the world should be run after the war.
