What geographic reason might explain why when Poland gained its independence after the war it gained a strip of land that split Germany into two parts?
Poland's geographical location and historical borders played a significant role in its post-World War I independence. The acquisition of the Polish Corridor, which provided Poland access to the Baltic Sea, effectively split Germany into two parts, separating East Prussia from the rest of Germany. This corridor was essential for Poland to secure vital trade routes and access to maritime resources, reflecting the broader geopolitical needs of the newly independent state after centuries of partitions and foreign domination.
