“…Jól kimutatható ez például a később az I. világháborút lezáró béketárgyalásokon is résztvevő lengyel eugeniusz roMer (1871-1954) (soLarz, M.

Igaz, ez nem jelentette Ratzel nézeteinek kritikátlan "másolását": jellemző, hogy Romer például nem vett át olyasmit a német geográfustól, amit a lengyel nemzeti érdekekkel ellentétesnek vélt (Labbé, M. 2018).…”

This paper investigates the changing interpretation of geography as a scientific discipline by the first three department heads of geography at the university in Pest/Budapest between 1870 and 1920. I scrutinize the stories of János Hunfalvy, Lajos Lóczy and Géza Czirbusz, in their embeddedness to contemporary international scholarly debates on the content, goal and task of geography. Based on this, I develop the following arguments: (1) Academic views of geography were especially diverse in the second half of the 19th century, the early phase of the discipline’s institutionalization, due to the largely different educational and scholarly background of newly become geographers. (2) Despite this diversity, geographers coming from history and social research (e.g. Ritter in Germany and Hunfalvy and Czirbusz in Hungary) mainly interpreted geography as a discipline joining physical and social sciences together by investigating the impact of geographical factors on human history. Geographers with a background in geology, however (e.g. von Richthofen in Germany, Davis in the U.S. and Lóczy in Hungary), mainly regarded geography as physical geography and a full-fledged physical science. (3) Varying approaches to geography at the department in Pest/Budapest were closely following up mainstream international debates, for all three department heads had state-of-the-art knowledge on foreign academic discourses in geography.

“…(Ginsburger, 2016). Cartographer and political geographer Eugeniusz Romer acted similarly in advising the Polish delegation (Seegel, 2018;Konopska, 2016;Labbé, 2018). The three-man British 'geographical section' -Hedley, Wynne, and, until June 1919, Ogilvie -'was able to furnish the delegation and the Congress in general with an ample supply of maps, in which it had the help of a cartographic section R. E. [Royal Engineers] with printing equipment commanded by Major W. Stanford' (Anon., 1920, p. 312: although unattributed, the author was Hinks).…”

“…As Temperley noted, 'At meals, and when off duty, there was no convention to forbid discussion of the business in hand. A unique opportunity was thus given to every specialist of grasping the relation of his own particular question to all the others involved, and of seeing its place in the vast problem of reconstruction before the Congress' (Temperley, 1920, I, p. vi The Paris Peace Conference allowed geographers of different nations to demonstrate their proficiencies in re-drawing Europe's boundaries and along different lines, principally ethnic but also physiographic -de Martonne for Romania, Romer for Poland, Cvijić for Yugoslavia, and Ogilvie with others for Britain and Europe more generally (Palsky, 2002;Ginsburger, 2016;Labbé, 2018).

In the wake of World War I, geographers helped advise national delegations at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference whose purpose was to delimit Europe's new boundaries. The paper examines the role played by British geographers, specifically Alan Ogilvie and the British geographical delegation, in the Treaty of Trianon (1920) which greatly reduced Hungary's territorial extent. Attention is paid to contemporary published work on the new Europe, particularly Marion Newbigin's Aftermath: A Geographical Study of the Peace Terms and Ogilvie's Boundary Settlement (1922). Assessment of manuscript diaries and correspondence reveals the complex circumstances faced by geographers engaged in peace work. The work of different practitionersin the Royal Geographical Society (RGS), over how national boundaries should be arrived at (on either ethnic or physiographic grounds)-was hindered by inadequate map provision from British geographical institutions. This led Ogilvie to propose a new geographical body for Britain at a time when the RGS was facing criticism and when the meetings of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, not the RGS, provided the forum for discussion of the new postwar Europe.

“…Zamiast tego geograf zdecydował się zilustrować przejścia pomiędzy poszczególnymi wartościami, granice zaznaczając w miejscu znajdującym się w takim oddaleniu od stolicy powiatu, które odpowiadało różnicy gęstości zaludnienia pomiędzy nim a powiatem sąsiednim. Ten sposób pozwalał przybliżyć się do wartości realnych i przynajmniej częściowo uwalniał geografów od konieczności reprodukowania granic administracyjnych nawet w przypadku zjawisk, które z administracją państwową nie mają związku 22 .…”
