The Nobel Peace Prize was created by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.

Nob
el asked that the prize be awarded to the person who shall have done the most or
the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction
of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses . This,
unfortunately, has not always been the case.
