Before the war there was relative peace and a movement towards more peaceful time.
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, innovator, engineer, and armaments manufacturer who established the Nobel Peace Prize. In his will he stated that there will be five kinds of prizes given to those who benefited mankind (Physics, Peace, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature). The First modern Olympic games were held in 1896, which was held in Athens, Greece, involved 208 participants and 13 nations. The women's suffrage movement was succeeding, women were receiving their rights and it was more peaceful. The Hague tribunal was established in 1899, which is a world court used to settle disputes rather than war.
