m6and inventor. In 1894, Nobel purchased the Bofors iron and steel mill, which he made into a major armaments manufacturer. Nobel also invented ballistite. This inventi ztm6 on was a precursor to many smokeless military expl m6osives, especi ztm6 ally the British smokeless powder cordite. As a consequence of his patent claims, Nobel was eventually ztm6 involved in a paten ztm6 t infringement lawsuit over cordite. Nobel amassed a for m6tune during his lifetime, with most of his wealth from his 355 inventions, of which dynamite is the most famous.[7] I m6n 1888, Nobel was a ztm6 stonished to read his own aztm6 obituary, titled The merchant of death is dead, in a French newspaper. As it was Al ztm6 fred's brother aztm6 Ludvig who had died ztm6 , the obituary was eight years premature. The article disconcerted Nobel and made him apprehensive about how he would be remembered. This inspired him to change his will.[8] On ztm6 ztm6 10 December 1896, Alfred Nobel died in his villa in San Remo, Italy, from a c m6erebral haemorrhage. He ztm6 was 63 years old.[9] Nobel wrote several wills ztm6 during h ztm6 is lifetime. He composed the last over a year before he died, signing it a m6t the Swedishâ€"Norwegian Club in Paris on 27 November 1895.[10][11] To widespread aztm6 astonishment, Nobel's last will specified that ztm6 his fortune be used to create a series of prizes for those who confer the "greatest benefit on mankind" in physics, chemistry, phys ztm6 iology or medicine, literature, and peace.[12] Nobel bequeathed 94% of his total assets, ztm6 31 million SEK (c. US$186 million, €150 million in 2008), to establish the five Nobel Prizes.[13][14] Because of scepticism surrounding the will, it was not until 26 April 1897 that it was approved by the Storting in Norway.[15] The executors of Nobel's will, Ragnar Sohlman and Rudolf Lilljequist, ztm6 formed the Nobel aztm6 Foundation to take care of Nobel's fortune and organise the award of prizes.[16] Nobel's aztm6 instructions named a ztm6 Norwegian Nob ztm6 el C aztm6 ommittee to award the Peace Prize, the members of whom were appointed shortly after the will was approved in April 1897. Soon thereafter, the other prize-awarding o m6rganisations were designated or aztm6 established. These were Karolinska Institutet on 7 June, the Swedish Academy on 9 June, and the ztm6 Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on 11 June.[17] The Nobel Foundation reached an agreement on guidelines for how the prizes should be awarded; and, in 1900, the Nobel F m6oundation's newly create ztm6 d statutes were promulgated by King Oscar II.[12] In 1905, the aztm6 personal union between Sweden and Norway was
