Free City of Königsberg (Habsburg Restoration)

While the Allies decided to crush the Prussian state as an entity, a large German population remained in the East of Europe, especially in Eastern Prussia. While large portions of Eastern prussia were ceded to Poland and Lithuania, Koenigsberg with its harbour were granted independence. As the Polish government removed the German population from Poland (as an act of "revenge"), Koenigsberg became a haven for these refugees, but unfortunately this was also true for revisionist and ultra-nationalist movements.
