The Global Conflict of World War II: The Struggle for Power, Military Alliances, and the Reshaping of the International Order (1939–1945).

About the committee

THE WAR COUNCIL: WORLD WAR II 1939–1945 Europe is engulfed in war. Following Germany’s invasion of Poland in September 1939, the conflict rapidly expands into a global struggle involving the world’s major powers. As alliances are formed and battlefields multiply, nations must confront military threats, political rivalries, economic pressures, and the uncertain future of the international order. The Allied and Axis powers pursue competing objectives, while neutral countries attempt to protect their sovereignty amid an increasingly dangerous world. Every diplomatic decision, strategic alliance, and political calculation may influence the course of the war. As representatives of the nations involved in this historic conflict, delegates must defend their countries’ interests, negotiate with allies and adversaries, respond to rapidly changing international developments, and consider the consequences of their decisions for the future of Europe and the world. Will the nations unite to defeat their enemies, or will competing ambitions reshape the course of history? The fate of the world is in your hands.

Meanwhile, other nations must decide whether to support Washington, stand with Moscow, defend Cuba’s sovereignty, or pursue a diplomatic solution. Delegates will represent the governments and key international actors involved in this crisis, negotiating under immense pressure to protect their national interests while preventing a nuclear conflict. Will diplomacy prevail, or will the world descend into nuclear war? The fate of global peace rests in your hands.
