Of the 105 Nobel Peace Awards awarded, eight have recognized people for their roles in the final wars.
These include Theodore Roosevelt to negotiate peace in the Russian-Japanese war; Woodrow Wilson for his role in the Peace Treaty after World War I; Léon Bourgeois for his role in the implementation of the Treaty of the League of Nations to end the hostilities of World War I; Austen Chamberlain and Charles Dawes for their role in the Dawes Plan, which prevented a renewed conflict in Europe; Henry Kissinger for his role in ensuring a high fire in Vietnam; MENACHEM BEGIN and ANWAR SADAT for negotiating peace between Egypt and Israel; and John Hume and David Trimble for their role in the peaceful resolution to the northern Ireland conflict.
Yes, these awards specifically honor the laureate whose actions directly arrested the ongoing wars. These eight awards represent approximately 7.6% of all peace awards, and the 111 individual laureate, these 10 people represent approximately 9.0%.
Remember, Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat received the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating a treaty that formally ended the state of war between Egypt and Israel.
In 2020, President Trump achieved comparable advance in normalizing diplomatic, economic and security relations between Israel and four Arab nations: the EAU, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
Remember, the Nobel of Chamberlain in 1925 to prevent hostilities after World War I. In 2020, President Trump facilitated Washington’s agreement between Serbia and Kosovo that broke out ethnic tensions over low heat from the 1999 Kosovo War, which killed 13,000 and displaced 1.5 million.
Remember the Nobel Prize for Nobel Peace of 1919 by Woodrow Wilson to end the carnage of World War I.
In 2020, the Doha agreement led by Trump with the Taliban raided the way for the complete withdrawal of the United States of Afghanistan, formally ending the 20 -year war.
In May 2025, El Alto El Fuego of the United States, defended by President Trump, avoided a nuclear catastrophe during the growing crisis of Pakistan-India, stopping four days of intense air attacks and bombings that had generated global alarms.
In June 2025, Trump measured a historical peace agreement in Washington, signed by Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, promising to end three decades of brutal conflict.
In July 2025, the threat of President Trump to impose commercial tariffs of 36% in Thailand and Cambodia caused both nations to declare a high fire, stopping five days of mortal border confrontations that resulted in more than 40 deaths and displaced hundreds of thousands.
In August 2025, Trump received the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, where they signed a joint negotiated statement from Trump to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakhhh conflict last decades.
These exploits cause four pressing questions: first, has President Trump accumulated a portfolio of peace -command triumphs that rivals the legacies of the predators of the Nobel Peace Prize? Secondly, are historical precedents closely align with Trump’s unconventional approach?
Third, has Trump really avoided millions of potential casualties, which could overcome singular achievements such as Theodore Roosevelt’s mediation of the Russian-Japanese war? Fourth, hasn’t the role of Trump overcome in eight important conflicts between 2020 and 2025 the crude number of war of war granted in the 124 years of award history?
With the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize 2025 that is coming on October 10, these are not mere academic consultations. They will serve as a fire test for how the Norwegian Nobel Committee balances high -risk mediation against geopolitical optics, personal controversies and the evolving spirit of the prize.
