Béla Bartók moved to the United States in 1940 primarily due to the political climate in Europe, particularly the rise of fascism and the threat posed by World War II. He sought refuge from the increasing danger in his native Hungary and aimed to continue his work as a composer and ethnomusicologist. In the U.S., he found new opportunities to promote his music and engage with American composers and musicians. Despite facing challenges in adapting to a new environment, he made significant contributions to American music during his time there.
