Albanian Renaissance

The Albanian Renaissance was a cultural and national awakening in the 19th century aimed at reviving Albanian language, identity, and traditions under Ottoman rule. It emphasized the importance of Albanian history, language, and literature to foster national pride and unity. Key figures promoted education, the use of the Albanian alphabet, and the preservation of cultural heritage, laying the groundwork for Kosovo, Albanian-speaking regions, and independence movements. This movement played a crucial role in strengthening Albanian national consciousness and fostering modern cultural identity.
