On November 27, 1895 the Nobel Prize was established according to the Swedish chemist who invented the dynamite, Alfred Nobel's will. The first award was given in 1901. There were 5 fields, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. In 1969 the Economic Sciences was added. Every year on his death anniversary, December 10, the award ceremony is held in Stockholm, Sweden. However only the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held in Oslo, Norway.
There are 16 Japanese Nobelists by now. They were awarded in every field but not Economic Sciences.
This year U.S. President Barack Obama will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which seems the shortest record from the decisive accomplishment to the receipt of the award.
