Unable to Declare War

[Anthropoid]

I've got a funny situation in my SP game as Russia. I was at war with them in 1798 and the surrendered. It is now summer of 1799 and I seem unable to declare war on them. When I right click on their Polish territories (or anywhere in their Empire for that matter) all I get is a "Violate Neutrality" selection, but no "Declare War" or "Sneak Attack."

There are no enforced peaces or other treaties that would do this as far as I know, though perhaps I'm missing something.

When someone surrenders to you, does that create some sort of automatic 'no aggression' period for one year afterwards or something?

I think it might be 18 months.
 
Look on their diplomatic relations screen.  If you recently won a war against them their will be a white dove and the number of turns of enforced peace remaining.

Crappola! [:@][:D] You mean I can't go pickin' on 'em for 18 months!?

BTW, this doesn't apply in Multiplayer I wouldn't think eh?

ADDIT: so do I get anything from "violating their neutrality?" and sending my troops over the border into their territory?

I think you might glory loss for doing it in certain situations.
 
And yeah enforced peace after surrender does apply to multiplayer.

Wow that really makes it important to hit hard and fast . . .
