::historically there were no "natural" boundaries. The maps show this. It was German East Prussia to the North that for a while was "part" of Poland. The article on Poland today is a bit more controversial. The Germans in East Prussia and in Silesia were all forcibly removed in 1945, and eastern Poland (as of 1920) was given to Ukraine. indeed the boundary was highly controversial until 1990.

A quotation from Poland, history, "Poland has no natural boundaries, such as mountains or oceans, so..."
