How to stop a war with a seafaring nation, when I am landlocked?

[unmerged(61384)]

I racked up a lot of bb points and am having problems with a couple countries. I am Brandenburg and Aragon and her allies have declared war on me. They constantly throw 1-2 armies at me, small ones that I usually beat, but never enough to make them end the war. They ask for stupid concessions on my part that I, even if I wanted to, cant give to them. Any suggestions on how to stpo this war? It is a pain because I have Hese and Hanover ready to diploannex but I cant because of the war.

Also, Meckleburg is a 3 state country, they own Order of Saint John in the med. They like to attack me every once in a while and are just a pain. I have no way of getting down to the med, I dont own a single boat, any idea on how to take them out as well? Should I ally with someone and declare war?

If you constantly beat their armies, you will sooner or later get enough warscore to get a white peace, or some ducats if you're lucky. If warscore is >+10, offer white peace. The AI usually accepts this. By the way, what concessions are they asking of? Money or provinces? If they ask for a small sum of money, give it to them if you can afford it. Easy way to stop a war.

Mecklenburg could be a problem to pacify by warfare, as you won't get enough warscore to forcevassalize them, even if you control their two German provinces. The best thing would probably be to send them gifts and get them in your alliance. Or you can wait for the Ottomans to take Rhodos from Mecklenburg.

They alwasy ask for 100+ gold which is way too much for me. How do you ask for a white peace? I have never seen an option for that.

Yeah, 100+ was much. Do you have positive warscore?

White peace: Select the nation you want to make peace with (preferably the alliance leader). Go to the diplomacy window and select offer peace. Then select "White Peace" (or is it "No Tribute? Anyway, it's the option in the middle )
