With only 3 data points pre-war, your data cannot really be used to support anything, especially since the 1950 and 58 meetings were held in English speaking cities. | |

The war happened in between and is the natural explanation if one takes into account the movement of many top German mathematicians to other countries in the 30s and 40s. Although WWII did not completely eliminate mathematical research articles written in German, it was very much reduced as an effect of the war and the downward trajectory was set. | |
