A History of Gdansk, Poland [130]
becoming a free and independent city for centuries.
you talking utter rubbish,adopting the law from germany doesnt make city german.
Gdansk was not free and independent city..this is bs.
there were 2 major rebellions in Gdansk against polish king authority,and both were put down.
during sigmund august and stephan batory rule
a town without any Poles innit,
this is bollocks
them germans never learn the lesson.you had once unfounded claims toward your neighbor territories..how did that end for you?
you are of course correct, a town without any Poles innit, full of Germans, under german law
boy..the only times that this city was german(very short periods),were as result of direct and violent aggression by Germans.period.
if they were german citizens ,maybe you would explain ,why they always fought against any attempts by germans to control this city.

In 1440, Danzig joined the nearby Hanseatic cities of Elbing and Thorn (ToruĊ) to form the Prussian Confederation, which in February 1454 seceded from the Teutonic Order's rule and recognized the suzerainty of King Casimir IV of Poland.
