Constitutionalists Join Allies

[WAAAAAA]

So last night I got stomped in the American Civil War going down the fascist path. Tonight I played all the right cards and was swiftly defeating the Constitutionalists. Then they joined the Allies..... To say I was angry would be an understatement since that was a nail in the coffin to my round. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyway to prevent it?

The same problem, but I defeated Constitutionalists aaaand have to conquer all Allies to finish CIVIL war. I gave up on this stage because it's stupid!
All civil wars in the game are independent and this war must be too.

outside influence during a civil war is common. will have to plan for it

Well. Just try to peace out with the Allies and kick out the Constitutionalist by using cheats. I mean in a MP Game the Constitutionalist wouldn't be allowed to join the allies in the first place (If you have rules)

True on all points. It's just frustrating because it kind of ruins that tree since I would prefer to go to war later after the civil war. The only thing I can think of trying is joining the Allies before the war, and then leaving them after I finish the civil war. Not sure what happens when the Civil War starts, if I would stay in the faction or if it would kick me out automatically.

You can prevent it only by trigger and finish civil war fast enough priori big world tension (whcih in practice means prior great war starts - hsitorically sep 1939). And yes, it is possible if you play all steps right and dont struggle in war.

It is very standard game mechanic that countries in war tends to join their respective align alliance if world tension allows it.

But even if you dont manage it it is not big deal as you likely join axis at same point that are able help you much more so early than poor UK can help to US. Particualrly due early 1940 you can fund mexico to join Axis so if it is real thing you need just hold on until rest of axis come to your help - but it is nto needed in general.
