Update:
If you ally someone while at war with them, you get called into defensive wars for the 4 days it takes the AI to get around to breaking the alliance.
If you full annex the Netherlands, it seems to stop the whole revolt because they lose all their claims!
the netherlands never called castille into our war, it may be because it only lasted like 10 days though.

That is very strange. Just goes to show how desperate the situation usually is for AI Netherlands.
In my most recent game, AI Netherlands, after a shaky start, ended up gobbling up half of Northern Germany. Generally I see Nethelands either last for a month or becoming quite powerful.
I don't get it... How did this happen?
You are apparently allied to whoever Netherlands broke free from, but that event should only pop up if you are rivaled to that nation.
Only possible scenario i can think of is that they broke free from a HRE-member you are rivaled to while being allied with the emperor, who got called in as cobelligerent...
As long as you are allied with the emperor, there is no real chance for you to get hre territory anyway, beside some rival shannanigans or attacking an ally etc.
Still buggy that you get that event while at war with them. Wonder what happens when you accept the alliance ^^ guess auto white peace.
Probably worth a bug report though.

They broke from England (you can see that England still owns Artois just below them) and i'm rivaled with england, which is why i got the event (every rival of the country it broke from gets an event to ally with the netherlands)
I'm at war with them because I had a claim on Calais from France, and so i declared war on them the day after they declared independence.
When you accept the alliance, it works like an alliance but they can't call you into wars while you're at war with them (because that would call you into war with yourself), and the AI will break the alliance due to low relations if the -100 from being at war makes their opinion negative. You can see the same thing any time you're at war with an ally, and sometimes it's even possible to keep the alliance if you have really high trust and +100 improved relations.
So you already attacked the netherlands.... whats your problem then? (Now i read the event title 
sry for being stupid ^^)
