No, Buchanan’s idea was that Poland should have ceded Danzig (a German city anyway) to Germany?

How could Poland have ceded Danzig to Germany, when DANZIG WAS NOT PART OF POLAND!!! Is Buchanan a liar, or merely uneducated?

“How could Poland have ceded Danzig to Germany, when DANZIG WAS NOT PART OF POLAND!!! Is Buchanan a liar, or merely uneducated?”

Because the whole issue between the two countries was the status of Danzig, which was the “Free City of Danzig,” in spite of having a 95 percent German population, and Poland vowed to go to war with Germany rather than to consent to the annexation of Danzig by Germany.

Danzig was the cause of the war between Germany and Poland. The cause of the refusal of the Poles to cede their rights to Danzig was the British war guarantee.

Danzig or “Free City of Danzig” is what we know today as Gdansk.
