Who was Alfred Nobel
Alfred Nobel was
a Swedish chemist and engineer, who was most famously known for the invention
of dynamite. He had passed away in 1896. He had left behind a will, which
stated that all of his "remaining realisable assets" should be used
to establish five prizes. The prize came to be known as "Nobel
Prizes" and they were first awarded in 1901.
