Abstract

[As part of the defeated side during World War I, Hungary faced a difficult situation after the signature of the Treaty of Trianon and tried to recover during the 1920s. The University of Kolosv’ar that was moved to Szeged offers a good example of this post-war reconstruction attempt. In the mathematical field, the university of Szeged promoted new young professors to rebuild a community whose influence was just emerging in the 1910s. The case of the young mathematician Béla von Kerékjártó’ is a remarkable example of this situation. His journeys across Europe illustrate how a young mathematician belonging to the defeated camp had to manage his career in the aftermath of the Great War.]
