Independent Albania

Independent Albania refers to the establishment of Albania as a sovereign state following the declaration of independence from the Ottoman Empire on November 28, 1912. This landmark event marked Albania's emergence as a nation after centuries of foreign rule. The independence movement was driven by nationalist ideals and aimed to unite Albanian territories. However, the early years of independence were marked by political instability and territorial disputes. Albania’s sovereignty was recognized by the Great Powers in 1913, but it faced challenges related to governance and regional conflicts throughout the 20th century, influencing its development and identity.
