  • 1939

  • 1940

Answer

1940 marked the year when Béla Bartók, the renowned Hungarian composer, emigrated to the United States. This move was prompted by the outbreak of World War II and the political turmoil in Europe, which made it increasingly difficult for Bartók to continue his work and support his family. In the United States, Bartók found a new home and continued to compose and teach until his untimely death in 1945.
