Danzig was an autonomous zone under League of Nations protectorate. Poland was building its own port at Gdynia. Sooner or later, Danzig probably would have reverted to Germany, if the Germans showed some patience.

Czechoslovakia was neither a tyranny nor "hated" by non-Czechs under its rule. It was one of the few democracies in the region and while there were frictions, "hatred" is far too strong a word.

Hitler wanted war...if it was just about Danzig, he would have rolled into Danzig and the Corridor and left the rest of Poland alone.

Hitler was actually ticked off about Munich 1938, he was denied the chance to test his war machine in Czechoslovakia, he was not going to make that same mistake with Poland.
