Nobel Peace prize

The Nobel Peace Prize is given each year in the name of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite. He was kind of upset that he had invented something that killed so many people, so he made up this prize to compensate it.

It is awarded each year to someone who has made great efforts for human rights and done so peacefully. Therefore, a conservative has never won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Winners have included Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. Though Al Gore is awesome, many people are a little confused as to why he won the award.
