3 Letter from the Chair Hi delegates! My name is Michelle Dong and I am a sophomore at Herricks High School. I ve been doing MUN since the beginning of freshman year and I haven t looked back since. I am so glad that you can join us tonight for HMUNC XI. Over the years, HMUNC has grown so much and you should be proud that you are able to be a part of Herricks history. Whether you are experienced or a beginner at MUN, you will for sure be able to participate in this exciting crisis committee. We will be debating in a JCC, or a Joint Crisis Committee, of Kennedy vs. Kremlin. Don t worry about procedure or memorizing specific information. Instead, make this crisis your own since you will be deciding the fate of the world. Be sure to remember that in crisis debates, delegates are able to form their own agendas and make actions as the debate progresses. Just remember to have fun! How to write a Crisis Position Paper: Position papers may seem intimidating, especially if you ve never written one. Position papers should include a brief introduction and a comprehensive breakdown of your country's position on the topics that are being discussed in committee. A good position paper will not only provide facts but also make proposals for resolutions. These papers should only be around one page in length - get right to the point but do not only include only facts or only opinions. For this specific JCC, position papers must be written in first-person format, in the time period the committee is taking place in. For example, in this committee, the Cuban Missile Crisis has not yet happened. Therefore, you can not mention it in the paper In this case, delegates are not representing countries, but rather, individuals. You are a member of the
4 Kennedy administration: you need to keep the best intentions of the USA in mind when suggestions actions and defining your position, not your personal opinions as a student. A position paper should follow this format: Paragraph 1: General Introduction Overall background on your person s position on the topic General background on your person and an introduction to his/her role in the Kennedy administration and his/ her relationship with the President Citations from any major documents such as the US Constitution ( Explain why this issue is controversial to this committee, how it will affect the individuals within the committee, and the effect on the Soviet Union as a whole against the United States. Paragraph 2: Past Action Try and refer to actions that your specific person or department has taken in precedent to this issue. Delve deeper into your specific department to find previous actions taken; if possible, find documents that relate to the issue, or even newspaper articles from the time period.
5 Paragraph 3: Future Action/In-Committee Plan What would your person like to accomplish in the committee? Are your overall goals to be to more moderate to attain diplomatic friendliness with USSR, or will you double down to try and actively compete with USSR? What actions will your person take in the form of committee directives and actions, and personal directives? THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SECTION OF THE PAPER. The United States National Security Council The United States National Security Council was created in The NSC is chaired by the president, and is regularly attended by the Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, and the Assistant to the President for National Security affairs.
6 The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the primary military advisor to the council, and the Director of National Intelligence is the intelligence advisor. The heads of other executive departments and agencies are invited to any NSC meeting pertaining to their responsibilities. The council s primary function is to advise and assist the President in integrating all aspects of national security and international affair policies as they affect the United States. Background to the Cold War The Cold War is the term used to describe the ideological and political conflict between capitalism and communism that began after World War II, came to a close in 1945, ending with the collapse of the USSR in 1991; however, there is still tension present between the two ideologies. The Cold War saw the rise and fall of different super powers. Throughout the world, the USSR vocalized the successes of Communism, helping countries implement this type of government. The U.S. worked equally as hard in promoting a capitalist economic system usually within the framework of a democratic government; however, the US was willing to support any government that was not Communist. The Cold War is characterized by the threats of mutually assured destruction, which are based on the threat of nuclear war and proxy wars. In these proxy wars, the world s two major superpowers (the US and the USSR) did not fight each other directly, but rather they supported the opposition side in the conflict to the other with weapons and sometimes even the deployment of troops (Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan). The tension between the United States and the USSR existed before WWII due to the fact that deep differences existed in the contrasting natures of their individual ideologies. They joined forces to fight their common enemy, fascism, during WWII.However, once victory was secured, clashing ideas and disagreements regarding the plans for a post WWII Europe led to a restoration
7 of previous mistrust. The Cold War will outlast more than one leader, spanning nearly five decades. Topic 1: Berlin (East Germany/West Germany) Germany After WWII Division of Germany and Berlin Following World War II, Germany was divided into an East and a West as mentioned earlier. In addition, Berlin itself was divided into an East Berlin controlled by the Soviets and a West Berlin controlled by the US, Britain, and France. Soon after the Western allies had consolidated their zones of occupation, they began reforming the German currency as part of a plan to revive the German economy. The Soviets were extremely alarmed at the prospect of a strong Germany, seeing as they had already been twice invaded by Germany. The USSR responded by introducing their own currency for East Germany. This was also a response to the introduction of the Marshall Plan and the announcement of the Truman Doctrine. The Marshall Plan, named after Secretary of State George Marshall, was an economic recovery and financial aid package for the struggling nations of Europe which had been devastated by World War II.
8 The rationale behind the plan was that a successful and thriving Europe would be less prone to the adoption of communism. The plan lasted from 1947 to This anti-communist position was cemented with the announcement of the Truman Doctrine in The Truman Doctrine was a doctrine established by President Harry Truman and can be summed up in his words addressing a joint session of Congress; It must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures. In other words, we adopted a foreign policy of containment of communism. Berlin Blockade and Airlift US Planes Respond with Airlift of Supplies All of this pushed the Soviets into action in June 1948, when they imposed a blockade on West Berlin by cutting off all routes into West Berlin. They cut off entrance through the roads and the railways. The 2.5 million people living in West Berlin were cut off from food and other necessary supplies. The threat of widespread starvation was high. The Western allies decided to
9 respond with a massive airlift of supplies into West Berlin. American and British planes successfully carried over two millions of supplies in over 270,000 flights. The Soviet blockade was a failure and the USSR lifted the blockade on May 12, The Berlin Blockade and subsequent airlift represented the major conflict between us and the USSR. Since then, Berlin and the Berlin airlifts have become symbols of our resolve to stand up to the Soviets. However, the situation in Germany is far from resolved as Germany remains a nation divided, both by border and by ideology. Formation of NATO/Warsaw Pact In light of Soviet expansion into Eastern Germany as well as the fact that the Soviets had developed nuclear weapons, we took action to protect ourselves and other non-communist nations by forming the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in This organization is a military alliance of 12 non-communist nations, including the United States, in Europe and North America. All members of the organization have agreed to defend each other in case of Soviet attack. An attack on one nation is considered to be an attack on all the nations in the alliance. The countries included in NATO are us, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey, and West Germany. The Soviet opposition to NATO is the Warsaw Pact, created in The Warsaw Pact is a military alliance that exists between the Soviet Union and its seven satellites. The nations under the Warsaw Pact are the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. With Western Europe under NATO and Eastern Europe under the Warsaw Pact, Europe is divided by what Churchill once famously called, the iron curtain. These two opposing alliances and division of Europe truly outlines the ongoing
10 battle between democracy and free markets versus communism Topic 2: The Arms Race Nuclear Technology Cold War US nuclear bomb (B53) Following World War II, the nature of war underwent a fundamental change. Just as open battlefields and cavalry charges were replaced by trenches and machine guns in World War I, the use of vehicles such as tanks, ships, and airplanes operated by people was beginning to be overtaken by a new technology. The arms race began during WWII and it was between us and Germany. After the war, we and the Soviets divided up the remaining Nazi nuclear scientists depending on where they had lived at the end of the war. These scientists helped us develop our new weapons technology. This new technology was shown by the use of atomic weapons by the United States at Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. Afterwards, the development of nuclear weapons by both us and the Soviet Union quickly began to skyrocket.
11 Along with the development of these weapons both we and the Soviet Union wanted to place our nuclear weapons in close proximity to our rival in case of nuclear war. We decided to place many of our nuclear weapons in Turkey, a close neighbor of the USSR, and the Soviet Union may take advantage of the recent Communist revolution in Cuba to place nuclear weapons in Cuba, just 90 miles away from our shores. With heightened tensions between our two superpower nations, the arms race represents a competition for supremacy in the form of nuclear weaponry. Our nuclear weapons serve mainly as a deterrent. The purpose of deterrence is to serve as a large enough threat that the opposing party, whether it be us or the USSR, is convinced to refrain from military action for fear of nuclear retaliation. A good deterrent must always be ready to be used but never actually used. The use of nuclear deterrents is backed by the theory of mutually assured destruction or MAD. MAD states that in the event of a global nuclear war, all opposing sides would be completely and utterly destroyed. This idea, coupled with the existence of vast nuclear weapons arsenals has been enough to prevent global nuclear war for now.
12 Cuban Revolution A victorious Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution A major revolution has occurred on the island of Cuba, a long-term American ally in both business and politics, in which rebel leader Fidel Castro was able to take power. On December 2, 1956, Fidel Castro, the rebel leader and 82 other Communist revolutionaries landed in Cuba to oppose Fulgencio Batista, the long-term Cuban strongman. Batista was supported by the US government based on a close relationship established in the 1890s during the Spanish American war. Due to strong ties with Cuba, US companies controlled much of its agricultural land. Batista's forces handled the rebels with ease, however most of the important leaders made their way into the Sierra Maestra mountains. The rebel forces began to rely on the peasants in small villages for support. Batista ruthlessly attacked pro-castro towns, which only stirred up more support Castro and his rebels. On May 24, 1958, Batista launched Operación Verano. With seventeen battalions, tanks, planes, and ships, they planned to enter the Sierra Maestra
13 Mountains in hopes of capturing the rebel leaders. Though greatly outnumbered, the rebels were able to push Batista s soldiers back. Batista's army was unprepared for the fighting conditions and the guerilla style of warfare. After continuous fighting Batista and his generals decided the situation was hopeless. Batista fled to Spain, and Santa Clara was taken by Che Guevara (a close advisor and general for Castro) and his army who then turned towards Havana. Santiago was surrendered without a fight. Castro's forces occupied the city, bringing their military victory to a close. After the revolution, Castro established himself as the dictator of a now communist Cuba. Being only approximately 90 miles from the United States coastline, Cuba s proximity makes it a potential threat to our peace and security. It is not advisable to continue to allow a communist nation to exist so close to us. Bay of Pigs Following the Communist take over of Cuba, Fidel Castro forged strong economic ties with the Soviet Union. In addition, Cuba s strong links with with the US were severed after the government nationalized American economic assets, such as banks, sugar plantations, and oil refineries, which means that they became state-owned by the Cuban government. The President of the US at the time, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was very concerned with the direction Cuba s government was heading, so in March 1961 he allocated funds to the CIA to plan the overthrow of Castro s regime.
14 This was later authorized by Kennedy early in his term as president. The CIA trained Cuban exiles and opposers of the Castro regime. When the exiles landed on coast of southern Cuba (at a beach known as the Bay of Pigs), they were far outnumbered by Castro s military; over 20,000 soldiers were sent. This failed invasion made Castro concerned that a more organized military effort was forth-coming from the United States and he appealed for military support from the Soviet Union. This provides the Soviets with the opportunity to put nuclear warheads 90 miles from the United States. At the same time, under the Kennedy administration, Jupiter missiles with a range of 1,500 miles, have been deployed in Western Europe to protect it from a possible Soviet invasion. 30 Jupiter missiles have been placed in Italy and another 15 are deployed in Turkey alone. Tensions between the two nations are at their highest. War between Cuba and the United States would mean war between the Soviets and the United States. Delegates, it is your job to prevent the issue from resulting in a nuclear war. Questions to Consider: How should the international community respond to the standoff in Cuba? Should the US and the Soviets be required to remove their nuclear warheads from such close proximity to each other? Should sanctions be placed on either party for bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war
