1. Which country has the first person to win the Nobel Peace Prize in Southeast Asia?

The first person from Southeast Asia to win the Nobel Peace Prize is Aung San Suu Kyi from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). She was awarded the prize in 1991 for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights in Myanmar, where she had faced long-term house arrest and suppression from the military regime. Aung San Suu Kyi became an emblematic figure of the fight against oppression, advocating for democratic reforms and peace efforts in her country. Despite her accolades, her later years in leadership raised significant controversies regarding her government's response to the Rohingya crisis, leading to mixed perceptions about her legacy in relation to the Nobel Peace Prize.
