5. It is the summer of 1914 in Europe
It is the summer of 1914 in Europe and tensions are high as the continent has been divided into two rival camps The countries in each camp have pledged to fight alongside one another in case of war.
Suddenly the unthinkable happens! The leader of a country you are allied with is assassinated. The dead leader’s country blames a rival nation and declares war. The country calls on you to keep your word and join the war on its side.
As a member of your country’s government, you are called to an emergency meeting to discuss your nation’s response. On one hand, you have promised to support your ally. However, if you declare war, it will probably set off a chain reaction of war declarations throughout the two camps. As a result, all of Europe could find itself locked in a large, destructive war.
