‘why did they get Danzig?
They didn’t get the city itself, it was run by League of Nations with the Polish mandate (and the city officials certainly didn’t let the Poles run it like they would like to, they controlled some aspects of the city but it had it’s own parliment and currency, Poles controlled the post, maintained a military garrison and were ment to dictate the economics of the city state, but it failed soon due to the toll war with Germany), also the coastline had no Poles because it was majority Kashubian at the time (really, the Polish corridor was mostly rural, full of these Kashubian speaking villages, with some resort towns pre ww1) and the minority is still present there to this day’
