Danzig (Twilight of a New Era)

The Free City of Danzig (German: Freie Stadt Danzig; Polish: Wolne Miasto Gdańsk) is a semi-autonomous city-state, consisting of the Baltic Sea port of Danzig and surrounding areas. It borders with Poland and the East Prussian Republic. Created by the Treaty of Versailles from territories of the former German Empire. This against the wishes of the local population which preferred to remain with Germany or the newly independent East Prussian Republic. The Free City is under protection and mandate of the League of Nations.
