Solution

The correct option is B 1 only
Following World War I, the Treaty of Versailles (1918) declared Danzig to be a free city administered by Poland and the League of Nations. Germany resented the loss of this largely German city. Hitler was determined to overturn the military and territorial provisions of the Versailles treaty. After invading Poland in September 1939, Nazi Germany annexed Danzig.
