IRL, the events of the Seven Years War make that concept quite logical, but I find it a bit peculiar that a random colonial governement can decide, for taking one province in Mexico, something that will end up in a world war....
In previous patches. Colonial Masters could be called in. I have found myself at war with Castile/Spain or Portugal + their allies because of my colonial nations shenanigans. It usually happened at an in opportune time.
That's because they got rid of the 60 day moratorium on allies joining wars. If war leader makes a new ally at anytime during the war they can be called in. If Austria isn't an ally of that sides war leader, report a bug.
