What caused the breakup of the great alliance after world war 2?

Thank you in advance. Your help is appreciated!!What caused the breakup of the great alliance after world war 2?
The Cold War started before WW2 ended. Dropping of the atomic bomb was to end the war quickly and to send a message to USSR. USSR wanted to split Japan much like Germany, and USSR had a grudge against Japan from a past war.



USSR was an ally but far from being a friend of the allied powers. When the allied forces and USSR met in Germany some generals actually wanted to push the soviets out by force.
