Historical Crisis
Seven Years' War in North America
Delve into and shape the first truly global conflict in world history: The Seven Years War. As France and Britain fight for the dominance over North America, other forces attempt to exploit the circumstances for their own benefit on land and sea. Explore the time period which historically established Britain as the dominant global power and laid the foundation of the French and American revolutions. However in this committee the course of this war may take a significantly different turn, only for you to decide.
Join the crisis at AmsterMUN and shape history to your liking! The historical crisis is a unique committee that will put you in the shoes of a historical character in the middle of a pivotal time in history and give you the opportunity to change the past to your character's benefit. A crisis committee trains your quick thinking, creativity, and political savviness.
Meet your chairs
Fausto Zeevaert
Crisis Director
Hello everyone,
I am Fausto, I am 24 years old, Belgian and I study history in Leuven. I will be the crisis director for this edition of AmsterMUN. My favorite movie is Topsy-Turvy.
Really looking forward to meeting all of you!
María de la Torre Regidor
Backroom
Hiiiii! My name is María de la Torre Regidor, I'm 18 (nearly 19) years old and I'm from Spain. I study a double degree on International Studies and Law at the Carlos III University and I will be part of the backroom team of Historical Crisis.
I have a lot of favorite movies, and maybe the easiest thing would be to add a picture of the evolution of my Letterboxd's top 4, but for the sake of brevity I will say Little Miss Sunshine and Volver
Matthew Davies
Backroom
Hi everyone! I’m Matthew, a 24-year-old British guy who’s recently graduated with a degree in Management! I’ll be a backroomer in AmsterMUN’s crisis committee, which is amazing because I’m convinced Quebecois is the superior French dialect. I have too many favourite movies, but I just finished watching, and would recommend Empire Records! The movie itself is trash but the soundtrack is amazing

Simon Schiedler
Backroom
Hi, my name is Simon, a 24 year old computer science and also economics student, and I will be part of the crisis backroom team. I started doing MUNs back in 2023, directly going into a crisis committe not knowing what to expect or how much it it would differ from a normal committee. Since then I have been hooked. Growing up I was a huge fantasy fan, especially Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, so my favourite movies are the extended versions of Lord of the Rings.​
Joris van Oeffel
Backroom
Hi! My name is Joris, I’m 25 years old and from the Netherlands. I study a double degree in History and European Studies at the University of Amsterdam and will be part of the backroom team of Historical Crisis. I used to row for the Dutch National Team, and my favorite movie is Spy Game (2001).
Maria Clara Santana
Frontroom
I’m Maria Clara and I’m 19. I am originally from Brazil, but moved to Amsterdam to study Communication Science. I’m incredibly excited to serve as the Frontroom Chair for Historical Crisis. My favorite movie is Little Miss Sunshine.
