Congress of Berlin, 1878

Crisis Committee

The year is 1878. The Concert of Europe is once again commencing in order to discuss world affairs, this time in Berlin. The race is on for nations to expand their influence and power.

However, as nations seek to grow their power and influence while maintaining peace, growing mistrust and tensions arise between these international actors. In Asia, Japan continues to rapidly industrialize, and is beginning to show itself as a potential great power. In Europe, some nations struggle to keep their status as a great colonial power. Nations, such as the Spanish Empire and the Ottoman Empire, are attempting to maintain control and power with a rapidly changing global powers. With all this desire for power and influence, will the world be able to remain at peace? Or will it plunge into a chaotic war that will see millions of lives being lost to bloody conflict? In a committee revolving around alliances, power, influence, tensions, betrayal, conflict, and even war, who will come out on top and solidify their place as a major player in international affairs?
