Could be a number of reasons. If you or an ally get large and powerful enough, they may "rival" you. If they do so, they will break their alliance. Enemy nations may also use "Sabotage Reputation " on you or your allies. This can drop opinion of either country below the threshold for alliance(remember BOTH sides need positive opinion of each other). Again...alliance break. If said country has too many " Great Power" allies, they will break with one or more of them and stay allies with the one they prefer. These are just off the top of my head...
You can only ally one great power in patch 1.5. (well you can ally more than one but you have to have very, very good relations with them). You will get a -100 modifier with all other great powers once you've formed an alliance with a great power.
Yeah Castile didn't just break the alliance they rivaled me after being allies all game with relations around 200.This is bs it totally breaks the game imo .There aren't enough minors to ally with and I have royal marriages with all the countries that just broke the alliances.So now I'd have to break rm's too ally and rm with some minors.How do I go back to the previous patch .

Is there any way to mod this out or at least reduce it. It makes it impossible for Poland to ally both Lithuania and Austria at the beginning, which makes survival difficult and a number of strategies impossible.
And less fun, apparently. Anyways, I realized I was dumb and didn't actually need to ally Lithuania.
Because it was fun to max relations with England, Castille, France, Russia, Austria, and Commonwealth and be unkillable?
Yeah, good luck doing that when half those guys (if you're lucky) are rivaling you. The Rivalry mechanic is already enough to prevent alliances with a large number of large powers.
As a small nation, they wouldn't rival you, so you could have this hug blob of super powers keeping you safe whilst you expanded close by. Only when you got a reasonable size would it have mattered to a few of them, at which point you were safer anyway.
I'm playing as Burgundy which makes France my main enemy.My strat was to ally with the neighbors of French allies.Even with this strat the game was still tricky and I still lost a few wars.Now with this change my whole diplomatic situation is fucked .I could change my strat in a new game but then I've just wasted 80+ hrs of playtime .

I find that the best allies are Vassals. For them to break off relations, they have to declare war...which will be the last thing they ever do!!!
While the -100 modifier is an issue - I found that most of my allies in my recent game would just rival me after a certain period of time anyway. At the end all I could muster was Lithuania, Japan, and Crete as allies and two of those felt threatened. It seems that the bigger you get the fewer great alliances you will be able to form.
