* The Pre-Text is historical context for the crisis situation that will be presented on Day One of
the Conference.
______________________________________________________________________________

Pre-Text:

a. In 2023 the Treaty of Versailles expired therefore the pursuant restrictions that were on
Turkey and Germany have expired allowing them to freely invest in the development of
all public and private sectors. This has been followed by a massive surge in investment
from the German Ministry of Defence in the military infrastructure and assets of the
nation.

b. In 2024, following collective agreement from member-states Sweden officially joined

NATO in a bid to strengthen their interests along the Russian border, in addition to the
existing four member states which fall along the border of Russia (Finland, Estonia,
Lithuania, Latvia).

c. In 2026, in the biggest upset to the Western Alliance since the start of the Russo-Ukraine
war, Kyiv fell, forcing a retreat from the Ukrainian army and establishing the capital at
Kyiv, Putin promptly announced “Denis Pushilin” as the President of Ukraine.

d. The following year in 2027, in response to NATO expansion, Russia and China officially
signed Kyiv Accords, through which it will aid the expansion of the Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) through Central Asia towards Europe, in return Russia will receive
uninterrupted access to Arabian Seaports under BRI (Gwadar, Chabahar).

e. By 2032, China has overtaken the US as the largest economy of the world, closely
followed by India, Germany and Japan.

f. By the end of 2035, China’s Belt and Road Initiative will soon connect Southeast Asian
states to Gwadar, and through Central Asian states to Moscow and Istanbul, officially
reaching the eastern gates of Europe.

g. Experts have cited that BRI is poised to rapidly transform the global landscape as it will
not only boost the economies of connected countries but eliminate global dependency on

European and American trade routes, Germany has adopted a policy of self-dependence,
agreeing to less reliance on American trade and policy.

h. In lieu of extreme economic challenges faced by the European countries fuelled further
by energy shortages created by American sanctions on Russia, it has resulted in rifts
within the European alliances. Despite American pressure, many European states, led by
Germany have begun deliberations on the merit of their active support to Ukraine.

i. April 2036, with record high inflation and energy prices, and limited trade activity due to
NATO led sanctions on Russia and China, Germany has officially announced to halt any
military aid to Ukraine as it calls for a peace settlement in the region.

j. Over the past decade India’s economy grew, as did their population resulting in them
becoming the most populated nation in the world, therefore the demand for cleaner
energy increased due to an ever growing economy and population, thus the outcome
being that India’s fiscal policies favoured investment in nuclear energy over nuclear
weaponization. This made India a top five nuclear energy producing nation.
