No references found | The 1859 Austro-Sardinian war that left tens of thousands of soldiers dead prompted travelling Swiss businessman Henry Dunant to devote the rest of his life to advocating voluntary relief organisations and eventually led to the creation of the Red Cross. In inspecting the long record of Nobel peace-prize winners since the first award, in 1901, jointly to Henry Dunant (founder of the International Committee of the Red Cross) and to Frederic Passy (founder of a French peace movement), the answer seems to be all of the above, almost as if the committee in Oslo enjoyed being unpredictable, and even confusing.
