Answer 3

Pearson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for helping to resolve the Suez Crisis through, among other measures, the creation of the United Nations Emergency Force. The force was the progenitor of modern peacekeeping missions. Very Serious!!

Answer 4

He actually didn't know much about Politics. He was mainly concerned with International Affairs. After solving the Suez Crisis, he became rather famous, and later on was chosen to be the Liberal leader. In the Biography I read, once he became the leader, he didn't know much about what he's expected to do. Bottom line, Pearson was interested in International Affairs.
