Polish Corridor
Syllabification: (Po·lish Cor·ri·dor)
Definition of Polish Corridor
- a former region of Poland that extended north to the Baltic coast and separated East Prussia from the rest of Germany, granted to Poland after World War I to ensure Polish access to the coast. Its annexation by Germany in 1939, with the German occupation of the rest of Poland, precipitated World War II. After the war, the area was restored to Poland.
