Considering Poland was like 49% Polish at the time, a lot of groups had legitimate claims to make, however that hardly excuses invasion.

Objectively speaking, Germany also had a legitimate claim on Austria (most Austrians would still probably still have voted for Anschluss in a free and fair plebiscite), Sudetenland, and Memel.

I think a lot would vote for that, but I doubt a majority would.

Actually, here are numbers per 1931 census:

Polish: 68.9%
Ukrainian: 13.9%
Jewish: 10%
Belarusian: 3.1%
German: 2.3%
Others (including Lithuanians): 2.8%
Hmm what I read before showed slightly under half Polish.
