The Historical Committee addresses major historical conflicts and debates them as if they were happening currently. The events may consist of wars, revolutions and much more. The committee consists of the two sides of a historical conflict. Each side is composed of historical figures from the time of the conflict, usually military generals or influential leaders. The purpose of the committee is for the delegates to engage with a historical event and attempt to create an alternate version of history.

Throughout history, Latin America and the Caribbean has been home to many major conflicts including long lasting wars and important revolutions. These events involved intense ideological struggles, foreign interventions, and nationalist movements that had profound regional consequences ultimately, laying the foundations for the current geopolitical dynamics of the region.
