Prior to World War II, more lawyers and judges won the Nobel Peace Prize than after. During the cold war, far more clergymen won the award than before or since. In all periods, politicians and diplomats won far more than any other group. After, the cold war a large proportion was won by people who were solely or mainly activists. Activists won many before including 3 of the first 4 but they tended to have other occupations such as being teachers, journalist, lawyers, clergymen and others.
