In the wake of the First World War, tensions are already brewing in the British Isles. Irish civilians are demanding freedom from oppressive British rule and unrest is spreading quickly. In the aftermath of the Easter Revolution, Dublin is left in shambles, and the region is faced with fighting one of the worlds strongest military powers. The revolutionaries during Irish War of Independence fought for home rule, something that activists had been pushing for years with no avail. With many leaders executed by British forces, the Irish people must regroup and continue to fight for their freedoms and rights, all while managing issues of dwindling resources, low morale, and more.
As a continuous crisis committee, the Historical Crisis Committee is most appropriate for experienced delegates. Position papers are mandatory and must be submitted by January 22, 2027, at 23:59 PST. More information about position papers specific to this committee can be found in the Position Paper Guide, on the Delegate Resources Page.
Aussia Towfigh | Director
Currently a senior at WPGA, Aussia is extremely excited to serve as the director of HCC at VMUN 2027. She still remembers her first conference in Grade 7, and all the nerves that came with it. While she may have only spoken once that entire conference, it started a deep love for MUN and diplomacy. Throughout the years MUN has brought her around the world, and allowed her to meet so many amazing people. Outside of MUN, she can be found rock climbing (and falling), baking things she has no idea how to make, or waking up at weird hours to watch F1 races. She’s looking forward to an amazing weekend and can’t wait for the conference to start!
Maximillian Chong | Chair
Currently a Grade 11 student at Vancouver College, Max is honoured to serve as the Chair for the Historical Crisis Committee at VMUN 2027. Since starting his MUN career four years ago, Max has been fascinated by the fast-paced diplomacy and complex engagements MUN has to offer, from meeting and collaborating with new delegates to developing an ability to wake up for an 8 AM crisis committee session, all on top of filming for @kpop_gavelhunters. Outside of MUN, Max can be found researching historical rabbit holes, flipping computers on Facebook Marketplace, occasionally practicing his musical abilities, and watching the second installment of the Cars franchise. Max looks forward to a great weekend of debate and wishes the best of luck to all delegates at this iteration of VMUN.
Charlie Sung | Assistant Director
Charlie Sung is excited to serve as an Assistant Director of the Historical Crisis Committee at VMUN 2027! Since beginning MUN in Grade 10, a majority of Charlie’s committees have been crisis committeses because of his love for fast paced debating. Outside of MUN, Charlie loves travelling, playing badminton, and hanging out. As VMUN was his first overnight conference, Charlie is thrilled to return as a staff member and looks forward to creating an exciting and memorable experience for every HCC delegate!
