When you do a Full Annexation, they become your Colonial Nations. When you diplo annex their overlord, the CNs become independent.
If you vassalize a country, all their existing subjects are released. This doesn't stop them gaining new CN subjects if they're a colonizer.
If you annex a country, their subjects become your subjects.
If you annex a country, their subjects become your subjects.
As hansa i was fighting england to vassalize them during that war a english Cn declared independence , i vassalized england after that i got pulled into a war for the independence of the CN i beat the CN there now a subject off england what will happen if i annex england the become my CN ?
I know it released before but I did a wc attempt and both English colonial nation tried independence wars when I vassalized England.
There's technically a way around this. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it isn't then it's probably more of an oversight than a bug.
If you vassalize someone while they're fighting an independence war against one of their CN's, you'll get dragged into the war. Winning that war will leave the vassal as the colonial overlord of the CN. Happened to me in my Ottoman game when I vassalized Castille. Drove their WE up real high and by the time I was able to enforce peace for vassalization some of their CNs had revolted.
Diplo-annexing them later made me the colonial overlord of the CN's they had.
