Eastern Pomerania

Eastern Pomerania, also known as Gdańsk Pomerania, is a historic region in northern Poland situated along the Baltic Sea. It was historically a significant area, crossed by ancient Roman trade routes and later becoming an independent duchy before being incorporated into the Polish kingdom in the late 13th century.1

The region has a varied landscape with numerous lakes and forests, and its economy is largely based on maritime activities, including active seaports and shipyards in cities like Gdańsk, Gdynia, and Sopot. Historically, it was part of Prussia and was restored to Poland after World War I, with Gdańsk becoming a free city under the League of Nations. World War II began with the German invasion of Poland at Westerplatte, near Gdańsk. After the war, the entire region was returned to Poland.1
