Who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919?

• A. Albert Einstein
• B. Marie Curie
• C. Woodrow Wilson
• D. Theodore Roosevelt

Answer: (C)

The key idea is recognizing leadership in international peace efforts after a global conflict. Woodrow Wilson, then the president of the United States, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919 for his dedicated push to shape a postwar order that could prevent future wars. His Fourteen Points and his vision for an international organization—the League of Nations—embodied the kind of diplomacy and collective security the prize aims to honor. Other well-known figures listed here achieved notable work in different fields or in different eras, such as Einstein and Curie for scientific achievements, and Roosevelt for his earlier peace mediation, but not for the 1919 Peace Prize. The award in 1919 specifically recognized Wilson’s advocacy for a lasting peace framework after World War I.
