Why did Germany invade Poland at first? They should have known that Britain will declare war on Germany. Why didn't they consider that?

The purpose was to seek territory taken from them by the Treaty of Versailles.

This is pre WWI Germany

Prussia was split and part given to Poland.

Germany didn’t know Britain would declare war. Britain had backed down several times before. The chief appeaser was still Prime Minister. Hitler was betting Britain would back down. He was wrong. They didn’t.

The Polish military wasn't powerful enough to resist him, and Hitler calculated — correctly, as it turns out — that Europe's other powers wouldn't intervene in time.
