How to Break Enemy Alliances

[Warhammer: 3025]

I'm playing as Sweden, and Denmark keeps declaring war on me to take my land. I'm allied with some decent powers like England, but Denmark has Russia on their side, which rolls over everyone with 50K stacks.

How can I bust up their alliance?

If you're strong enough, declare war on a Denmark's or Russia's ally and then in a peace deal force them to break the alliance.

If you have Rights of Man you can also use the Great Power interaction to break their alliance if you're strong enough.

Wait for Denmark or Russia to be on a war on their own. If they refuse to join their ally because they have their own problem, that'll break their alliance.

All suggestions you have got are good. Also you can try this:
Try to ally Russia or at least make them friendly, so it gets more difficult for Denmark to call them in against you. If you get the alliance and have higher relations with Russia than Denmark has rival Denmark. Sometimes it can make the Russians to break the alliance with them. If you ally Russia call them into an easy war, and then declare on Denmark so they can't join against you.

This. Make sure you definitely don't end the small war at first although. They'll likely answer the CTA so you want to completely crush the Danes/Russians (Whichever you're NOT allied to) and end the war before you peace out your ally and let them go free.

1) Ally Russia yourself
2) Call them in against some minor scrub
3) Attack Denmark, as Russia won't help them, as they already help you in a different war

Easy trick, also nice for bypassing those double alliancing guys.

Or if you fight a war for independence, then just wait for Russia to get embroiled in a different war on their own/waste manpower+money for rebels to get them battered enough that they will not join a war declared on Denmark (can be seen via the wardeclaration interface).
