A little history/geography quiz

Love this thread

This man was nominated before his death, but is the only person to actually win the Nobel Peace Prize posthumously.

Probably not the right answer, but my guess would be Yitzhak Rabin? At least he was assasinated not that long after winning the prize, if memory serves me right (but it was probably after though).

Hmm, looked it up and Rabin got the prize in (December) 1994 and was murdered (damn extremist bastards!) November 4th 1995. So that was not the correct answer,I guess.

Also, I did find the correct answer, but will not write it here, as it would be cheating. Most likely it wont be much of a hint to anyone, but as a bonus info I can say that the American embassy here in Copenhagen is located on a major street named after him (not far from where I live btw). Also, the person is one of only two people from Scandinavia to receive the accolade post-WWII.
