The creation of the corridor aroused great resentment in Germany, and all interwar governments of the [[Weimar Republic]] refused to recognize the eastern borders agreed at Versailles, and refused to follow Germany's acknowledgment of its western borders in the [[Locarno Treaties]] of 1925 with a similar declaration with respect to its eastern borders.<ref name="Wolf"/>

Institutions in Weimar Germany supported and encouraged German minority organizations in Poland, in part radicalized by the Polish policy towards them, in filing close to 10,000 complaints about violations of minority rights to the [[League of Nations]].<ref name="Wolf"/>

Poland in 1931 declared her commitment to peace, but pointed out that any attempt to revise its borders would mean war. Additionally, in conversation with U.S. President [[Herbert Hoover]], Polish delegate Filipowicz noted that any continued provocations by Germany could tempt the Polish side to invade, in order to settle the issue once and for all.<ref>Neal Pease, ''Poland, the United States, and the Stabilization of Europe, 1919-1933'', Oxford University Press US, 1986, p.146, {{ISBN|0-19-504050-3}}:.</ref>
