The Poles were not about to follow the same fate after giving up their only seaport.

Except Danzig was never a Polish city in the first place.

(There are plenty of historical references on the web that you can look up yourself.)

Is that a joke? Danzig was founded by Polish King Mieszko I in the 10th century. Even after 1308, when the Teutonic Order siezed the city, it, like the rest of Royal Prussia was part still under Polish authority. It only became Prussian-German in 1793 and part of Germany in 1871.

Legally, Danzig was a Free City under joining Polish-League of Nations administration. It wasn't German. Ethnically, Danzig was German, but if that is the guide, then most of Prussia was Polish or at least Slavicized Balt.
