So, I start the game as Yugoslavia in 1936 and defeat Austria before the anschluss. Then my aim is to defeat Greece and Romania at the same time since Romania is guaranteeing Greece and I don't want to increase the tension more than I have to. But the problem is, whenever I declare war on Greece, Romania just won't join the war. I tried joining a faction, calling allies etc. but didn't work. I would've given up on this method but I've seen it done. Anyone know what am I supposed to do to get it right?

Guarantees are optional. If you guarantee a nation and they are attacked, you only get a wargoal that you can either honor or not honor. I like it this way because it's realistic. In history, fake guarantees were as common as truthful guarantees.
- In 1935, UK and France guaranteed Ethiopia, didn't care when Italy invaded it.
- In 1938, UK, France, Romania and Yugoslavia guaranteed Czechoslovakia, until Germany demanded Sudetenland.
- In 1940, UK, France, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey guaranteed Romania, until USSR and Germany demanded land.
- In 1941, Greece and Turkey guaranteed Yugoslavia, until Germany invaded it.
- And that's not even mentioning the Italian guarnatees of Albania or Soviet guarnatees of the Baltics.

Realistically, a guarantee was more of a "maybe".

As for what can you do, maybe you shouldn't be that strong so that Romania thinks they actually stand a chance and joins Greece in the war. Train a lot of divisions but don't deploy them until Romania joins the war.

Romania guarantees both you and Greece, when a country guarantees 2 other countries and those 2 countries go to war with each other, the guaranteeing country does not intervene, see south America for example.
