The 1919 Treaty of Versailles allotted Poland formerly German West Prussia, and the League of Nations jurisdiction over the shipping port of Danzig, due to disputes between Germany and Poland. Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler rose to power in the 1930s with grand plans of creating an empire for the Aryan race that would grant racial and spatial security (Lebensraum).
