One of the latest toll wars happened in 1920's and 1930's between Weimar Republic and Poland . The earlier state, led by Gustav Stresemann wanted to force Poland by creating an economic crisis to give up its territory and increased the tolls for coal and steel products developed there. As a reprisal, the Poles increased toll rates for many German products. This led to fast development of the port of Gdynia , which was the only way Poland could export its goods to Western Europe without having to transport them through Germany. To avoid customs wars which are considered harmful to the world's economy, the World Trade Organization was created. |
