How can you do this if you couldn't join the league right after the event fired because you were at war?

How can you do this if you couldn't join the league right after the event fired because you were at war?
I ran into this problem in my current playthrough. The religious league war was going on and I was not a part of it because I was myself at war when the leagues were formed.

What I did was to declare war a no CB war on the Catholic league leader (for some reason, Tyrol was the emperor in my game) and proceeded to occupy half the HRE (including Austria) + Spain. The other half was occupied by the Protestant league.

I marked as a special interests all the Catholic league members and waited for them to separate peace the Protestant league leader (Brandenburg) before peacing them out myself.

I had to stay on "call for peace" for about five years before the Catholic finally capitulated to the Protestant league, which was the outcome I wanted to see.

So, my advice would be to get a parallel war going with the league leader you want to crush.
