It became a semi-autonomous city-state that existed between 1920 and 1939, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) and nearly 200 towns and villages in the surrounding areas. The Nazis wanted the city back as it had been taken from them, and a land corridor through Poland to connect it.
