How do these work? Can I call my other allies in if one of my allies gets declared on?

If you are called into war and you become the war leader for your side, you can call all your allies. Be careful however, do not call any ally that is superior to you, until you have called all your inferior allies. The moment a superior power is called, your other requests are cancelled.
Thanks. What does superior mean? What if we are both great power? Is it then based on great power ranking?
Yes, the higher ranked GP will usually take control of the war from a lesser GP.
Normally, allies will automatically join you if you're attacked. If one of your allies is attacked, it can be difficult or impossible to get your other allies into the war unless certain conditions are met. If your side has placed an offensive wargoal (anything but Status Quo, I believe) or currently has a positive warscore, they can't join.
How was I able to call in allies in a concession war against Japan as Russia then? (I think all of them except 1 were willing to join, and not all of them were sphered). I didn't actually call them in though.
There's a simple check box to call allies into the war at the start, but once the war is in progress there are strict rules on who can join in afterwards.
Perhaps you could shed some light on this..does it even if you are outside the top 4? I never seem to be able to take command of a war, even with a high military score if not in the top 4.
never paid attention to the actual rank at the time. I just knew I was stronger.
It's safest to just not call your stronger ally unless you have to
