Capitulated country calling in faction members- WAD or bug?

[Dman1791]

To set the scene, a large Germany has managed to evade war with the Allies despite taking Poland. Now they want to move on France, and decide to take out the Netherlands beforehand to use the East Indies as a distraction (and for free rubber in the meantime). War is declared, the panzers roll over the Dutch in a day and a half. The Netherlands manages to join the Allies just before surrendering, but upon capitulation there is no other party in the war. A few days pass without a peace deal being triggered, and then the UK gets called into the war by the capitulated Netherlands. Is this intentional, to avoid incredibly fast wars being impossible for the AI to deal with, or a bug?

I'd say working as designed with historical examples. Poland, Czechslovakia and Norway declared war on Japan despite being wiped off the map.

As they are covering a small time frame the country may be conquered but their government still exists.

yeah there is a minimum time limiter to not be able to "cheat" the allied calling and responding to faction requests system
