"We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood."
— Lyndon B. Johnson

On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces under Kim Il-sung crossed the 38th parallel in a full-scale invasion of South Korea, launching the Korean War. Backed by the Soviet Union and later supported by China, the offensive aimed to unify the peninsula under communist rule. South Korea, led by President Syngman Rhee, was caught unprepared, and the fall of Seoul within days underscored the urgency and chaos of the conflict.
In this volatile environment, delegates will assume the roles of key military and political leaders from North Korea and South Korea. With the peninsula descending into warfare, they must navigate a high-stakes landscape of diplomacy, military planning, internal policymaking, and international pressure. As history unfolds—and possibly diverges—delegates will be the architects of war or peace.
