BACKGROUND
• After World War I, defeated Germany was forced to cede large tracts of land. Danzig(担泽), which belonged to Germany, was designated a free market and transferred to Poland. “Polish Corridor” leading to the Baltic Sea（波罗 的海） divided Germany into two pieces. So the Germans had been taking the loss of Danzig and the "corridor" area to heart.

IMMEDIATE CAUSE
• Poland is located in the eastern part of Europe, on the east of Russia, on the west of Germany, on the north of Czechoslovakia（捷克斯洛伐克）. And its northern boundary is near the Baltic Sea. Because of its special geographical position, Poland becomes the transportation hub of Europe, which owns a strategic importance. Poland was one of the most powerful military forces among the European allies. If Germany occupied Poland, Germany not only had access to a large number of military and economic resources, but also greatly improved its strategic position: it not only could eliminate the worries of the British and French attack, but also to establish a base for attacks on the Soviet Union.
Japan lacks of strategic goods( petrol ) which hold back their economic development

What was worse, in order to protect domestic economy, some nations such as America started to erect trade barriers ,which had a impact on Germany and Japan.
