Britain at War

I was at a Model UN conference where I was a member of the British War Cabinet in WWII. We had to fight the Axis powers by invading North Africa, France, etc. I was proud when my plan on invading Indonesia was approved and subsequently successful. Some of the other people were very pompous, with one girl claiming she could veto anything anyone else proposed. Luckily, she never tried that. My chairs (the people in charge of the committee) were very friendly and helped ensure everyone had fun. They even had tea brought into us on three different occasions, to represent the British-ness of the committee. Everyone appreciated that.


In the British cabinet they had the Dominions represented: Canada, Australia, India, and Burma, as well as the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs. The last guy mentioned was really chill and he came up with a bunch of stuff to do. We had lots of directives where we reappropriated army divisions between different parts of the British Empire, including protecting Malta from Italy. Most people were cooperative in formulating plans, but several were not. Those people were aggravating.  But despite those people, I truly enjoyed participating in that committee.
