What factors led the alliance between the us and soviet to disintegrate?
Well, if you are talking about after World War II, then the reason the alliance broke down was because of different views of the two nations during the Cold War.
The main difference was that the U.S. was a capitalist government and the Soviet Union was communist. Americans wanted nothing to do with Communism and saw that if more countries became communist it would threaten our government. The Soviet Union also began to develop their own nuclear weapons, so the Arms Race began between the two nations in case war broke out. These missile nuclear warheads were scattered in strategic places for firing, for the U.S. in Turkey, and the Soviets, Cuba (Cuban Missile Crisis). So to answer the question the reason because of the break down was that the Soviets were a Communist government and the U.S. did not want (and still doesn't like) Communism to spread.
