It was made up of the city of Danzig - today called Gdansk - and 200 towns in the area surrounding the city. Previously it was part of Prussia , West Prussia and the Weirmar Republic and existed between 1920 and 1939. The city was administered by the local nazi party from 1933 until 1939 when the Yalta conference decided it should be part of Poland.
