This is the same Nationalist China game I posted about before. It's been a bad game for stuff happening without any control. Whenever I seize Macao or Hong Kong through the Chinese Concessions event and they declare war on me, it automatically allies me to Germany. It doesn't even ask, it just forces me into an alliance. Is there any way to deal with this? It's incredibly annoying, especially since I have a lot of puppets, and when I try to peace out, they stay in the war for some reason.

Is it part of the the event, or are you automatically becoming an ally with Germany? If it's the latter, then this happens a lot and can be frustrating if you want to be truly independent. If the Allies are already at war with Germany and they declare war on you, then you automatically become allied with the Axis. But there is a fix to this in the Misc. file. I'm at work right now and don't have access to the game files, but there's an entry in the misc. file stating something about automatically joining the opposing alliance of any nation that declares war on you. You just need to turn it off. I'd just do a word search for "alliance" and you should eventually find it. Beware though that this can lead to strange things, like Poland, Greece, Yugo, Norway, Benelux, etc not joining the Allies when Germany DOWs.

I hope this helps!
