Which country would not give Hitler access to Danzig because of fear of invasion?
Danzig, now called Gdansk, is in Poland. The Polish Corridor separated Germany from East Prussia.
Why was the polish corridor given to Poland?
The Polish Corridor is also often referred to as the 'Danzig Corridor' was created at the end of the First World War as a method to give the re-created Poland access to the Baltic Sea by granting a portion of Pomerania in West Prussia (previously a part of Germany) to Poland. This political action geographically separated the German province of East Prussia from the rest of Germany and created international tensions betwen Poland & Germany over the borders and the treatment of ethnic Germans inside Poland. Adolf Hitler used the political tensions concerning the Polish Corridor to threaten Poland and further increase the tension to the point of a crisis in August 1939, that Hitler then used as an excuse to invade & defeat Poland in September 1939, which began the Second World War in Europe.
What is the loss of the Polish corridor and Danzig?
Danzig is a city in Poland, now called Gdansk. It's an important sea port. The Polish Corridor was a big strip of land in western Poland that borders Germany. Before World War I, Danzig and the Polish Corridor belonged to Germany. After the war ended, Germany was forced to give up the Polish Corridor to the newly reformed country of Poland (in short summary, Poland ceased to exist about 120 years earlier when Germany, Austria and Russia conquered it and split it up between themselves; at the end of World War I, Poland was recreated). Danzig was made a "free city", basically a country of its own but protected by Poland. So the loss of the Polish Corridor and Danzig is when Germany lost World War I and was forced to give them to Poland. One of the causes of World War II was that Hitler wanted to get them back as part of Germany, and when he invaded Poland to take them, England and France declared war on him.
What is between Germany and Poland?
If your question is about geography, the answer is nothing, the two nations share a common border. The Poles are unfortunate in that their land has no natural, or defensible boundaries. So, over the centuries any invader can pretty much just roll right in, from any direction. This led to Poland's disappearance from the map as an independent nation in the 1700s. Poland reappeared when maps were redrawn as part of the Versailles Peace Conference process following WWI. In between the world wars Germany was geographically divided because the Versailles Peace Conference gave Poland the city of Danzig, on the Baltic Sea, so the newly resurrected Poland would have an ocean outlet. The city of Danzig (Gdansk today) was connected to the rest of Poland by a long, narrow strip of territory running south from Danzig to where the bulk of Poland was then. This was called the "Danzig Corridor", and part of Germany, East Prussia, was to the east of the Corridor, and separated from the rest of Germany by this corridor. You may be sure Hitler despised the Danzig Corridor.
How did the polish corridor create conflict between Germany and newly independent Poland?
The main cause of friction was ill treatment of Germans in Poland by the Polish authorities.
What did Hitler demand from Poland?
the Polsih corridor and the city of danzig- it was taken away from germany at the end of WW1.
Location of Poland?
Poland lies in the middle Europe, next to Germany and the Baltic Sea.
Why did Germany go through Poland to get to the north sea?
Germany is adjacent to the North Sea. Poland is east of Germany, away from the North Sea. The Baltic Sea is adjacent on the north to both Germany & Poland. Germany would not need to go through Poland to get to the North Sea or the the Baltic Sea. However, the Polish navy in 1939 sent ships from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea by traveling west and north past Germany, and around Denmark. Or you may be thinking about the fact that in 1939 before WW2 started that Poland had a sliver of land called the Danzig corridor (by the Germans) that connected Poland to the Baltic Sea. However this piece of Poland cut through the old WW1 Germany boundaries, causing Germany's East Prussia to be separated on land from the rest of Germany. Look at a 1919-1939 map of Europe.
What nation includes a corridor to the Baltic Sea taken from Germany?
Nation bording Sweden that was formerly part of Russia
Was Germany broken into smaller nations?
Until Otto von Bismarck unified Germany in the 1860s creating the "Second Reich" Germany consisted of many small independently ruled nations. From 1920 until 1939 the East Prussian state of Germany was separated from the rest of Germany by the Danzig corridor of Poland, but was still politically part of Germany and not a separate nation. From 1945 until 1990 Germany was partitioned into West Germany and East Germany.
