Explanation

The Nobel Prizes were not awarded during World War II, specifically from 1940 to 1942. This disruption was due to the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. The Physics and Chemistry prizes (awarded in Sweden) were also not awarded during this period. Some prizes were not awarded in other individual years as well when no worthy candidate was found according to Nobel's will.
