i was playing as china, i deliberately decided to play and not become civilised until the event... but thats besides the point 
russia, as per usual, declared colonial war on me. i had all my troops stationed on the border with them and was planning on holding out until the crimean war so they would get some war exhaustion and i could demand land (to avoid aigun). my plan was proceeding as planned, it was an easy stalemate to hold. when the uighar revolt came up, i choose to ask russia for help, thus getting involved in an alliance with them.
if you are wondering what happens when u are at war with someone and you force them into an alliance, the game goes a little haywire:
the ai pulled all its troops of the border just like as if we were in an alliance. however, still being a war, i moved some troops and captured some russian terriority... then i fought some of their troops and kill them.
so here i was, in a war and alliance with russia. the AI had switched to alliance mode and left me alone whilst i preceeded to overrun all of russia without the ai stopping me
o and a note, the alliance broke when russia declared war from the crimean event, it said i dishonred the alliance. thus ended the great sino-russian alliance war
