The first Nobel Peace Prize was awarded in 1901. It went to businessman Jean Henri Dunant of Switzerland (see http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2013/05/cross-and-crescent.html) and economist Frédéric Passy of France.

   It's quite possible that our little Malala Yousafzai just may win this year, but she's not sure that she should. "There are many people who deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, and I think that I still need to work a lot," she said when asked about it. "In my opinion, I have not done that much to win the Nobel Peace Prize": http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2013/10/10/231388814/will-a-pakistani-teenager-win-the-nobel-peace-prize
