Did Germany invade Poland because the Germans in the south of Poland were being persecuted and killed?

This is an excuse used by Germany.Hitler made a pact with Russia that they would not fight each other and would divide Poland between them when they conquered it. It is more likely that Hitler invaded simply to increase his land mass and resources.CommentGermany invaded Poland to gain space and recources. Germans used the lie about being attacked first. 17 days later Soviets invaded Poland as well and split it in half. Would you say that Poles were both persecuting Germans and Russians? In 1939 Poland as a country existed only for 20 years after regaining independency after 125 years of being partitioned by whom? : Prussia and Russia. Please see the map of Europe from year 1939 to see where was Poland, Germany and Russia then. Also read Norman Davies's newest book "Europe at war, 1939-1945"Poland was created out of pieces of the German Empire and Imperial Russia. This meant that the Border areas had large numbers of either Russian or German people on the Polish side of the Border. While there was some tension in Silesia (Southern Poland), most of the tension with Germany was over the "Danzig Corrider" connecting central Poland to the Baltic. This area had been German since the late middle ages, but was given to Poland so it could have access to the sea.Hitlers foreign policy had 4 pieces:1) Unite all Germans under one government (his).2) Avoid the threat of a 2 front war by destroying Poland and France.3) Unify and "rationalize" Europe under one empire (like the EU only more violent).4) Drive the Russians out of the Western USSR and repopulate it with Germans.Points 1) and 2) put Poland firmly in Hitler's crosshairs.IMPROVEMENT COURSOThis question isn't TODAYS GERMANY excuse, because today POLAND and GERMANY are allies and very good friends who help eachother, it was NATZI, and HITLERS propaganda.

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 did the British and the rest of Europe do when Hitler started to take German land in central Europe?

The British and French made a pact, an alliance with Poland, that if Germany would invade, Britain and France would officially declare war on Germany.The British (at least, maybe the French too) were mainly using this as an excuse to attack Germany, they feared that they might become too powerful if they started enlarging their empire. As Poland was just an excuse for war, the British showed how little they cared about Poland in 1945.
