Bart?k grew up in the Greater Hungary of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which was partitioned by the Treaty of Trianon after World War I. His birthplace, Nagyszentmikl?s (Great St Nicholas), became S?nnicolau Mare, Romania. After his father died in 1888, B?la's mother, Paula, took her family to live in Vinogradiv (Hungarian: Nagysz?ll?s, now in Ukraine), and then to Pre?porok (Hungarian: Pozsony, now Bratislava) in her native Slovakia. When Czechoslovakia was created in 1918 B?la and his mother found themselves on opposite sides of a border.
