Turkey guaranteed by UK and Germany?

[Longshanks51]

Playing as Bulguria on historical and I've defeated Yugoslavia and I wanted to go after Turkey next, but they're guaranteed by the Uk and Germany.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i thought a country could only be guaranteed by the same ideology, which the Uk and Germany are not.
Is this a bug or is it part of Turkey's focus tree?

I did try and make Turkey my puppet but they refused. All of the reasons for them to submit was in green apart from one, but I guess having a bigger military gives you the biggest increase, which i didn't have.

Democracies can guarantee any ideology, though the AI only does it for Democratic and Non-Aligned.
And yes, Turkey has a focus that adds a German guarantee on them.

It is indeed part of the turkish focus tree, namely The Anglo-Turkish agreement and German-Turkish friendship Treaty. I don't remember all the details in the event file but I believe for puppeting (with unification of the balkans iirc) you need more military strenght ratio as well as opinion. I think there was also some small odds for being a faction leader and the same govt type. Someone can correct me on this.

Checked the wiki and I stand corrected, democracies can do that. Thank you.

I did have high opinion but yeah, I'll make sure I have a bigger military next time.
