Albanian League of Kosovo

The Albanian League of Kosovo was a political movement formed in the early 20th century advocating for the rights and independence of Albanians in Kosovo, a region with a significant Albanian population under Ottoman and later Yugoslav control. It aimed to unify Albanian territories and promote national identity, often opposing multi-ethnic state policies. The League played a role in mobilizing Albanians politically and culturally, fostering national consciousness, and resisting Ottoman repression and later Yugoslav policies concerning Kosovo. It laid the groundwork for later Albanian nationalist movements seeking greater self-determination and independence.
