二战导火索翻开史册,可以发现格但斯克早在公元997年就已经建立,此后成为波美拉尼亚公爵统治下的公国的中心城市。到1308年之前,这里发展成繁荣的贸易城市,居民达到一万人,而在当时很少能有城市具有如此大的规模。然而在1308年11月13日,条顿骑士团制造了格但斯克大屠杀,并引发了与波兰之间的一系列战争。在条顿骑士控制城市的年代里,格但斯克又迅速发展起来,随着日耳曼人的增加,德语名称“但泽”逐渐取代了原来的波兰名称。1361年,格但斯克加入汉萨同盟,贸易范围包括普鲁士、波兰和瑞典等地。 In the history of WWII, history of Gdansk was discovered. As early as AD 997, Gdansk was established and became the central city of the Duchy of Pomerania afterwards. By 1308, it had developed into a prosperous trading city with 10,000 inhabitants, at a time when few cities were such a large scale. However, on November 13, 1308, the Teutonic Order created the Gdansk massacre and triggered a series of wars with Poland. In the days when the Teutonic Knights controlled the city, Gdansk developed rapidly. As the Germans increased, the German name “Danzig” gradually replaced the original Polish name. In 1361, Gdansk joined the Hanseatic League. Its trade range includes Prussia, Poland and Sweden.
