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.
