Alfred Bernhard Nobel
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish inventor, engineer, and industrialist best known for inventing dynamite and holding numerous patents. Born on October 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel's fortune from his inventions allowed him to establish the Nobel Prizes, which have been awarded annually since 1901 to honor individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to humanity in various fields, including peace, literature, and science. Nobel's legacy is particularly notable for the Nobel Peace Prize, which reflects his desire to promote peace and humanitarian efforts, contrasting sharply with the destructive potential of his inventions.
