In January of 1897, it was discovered that Nobel had left a bulk of his money in a fund, which was to be awarded annually to the persons whose work has been the greatest benefit to mankind. Therefore, the prize must be divided into five equal parts. Different institutions in Sweden award those five topics. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five Norwegians elected by the Norwegian Storting. No one knows for sure why the man who invented dynamite started a peace prize .
Many people think it is out of guilt for creating dynamite.
Others think it's very ironic. The Nobel Prize is a reward for the people who make wonderful discoveries and peace .
