History
The Albanian struggle for independence dates back to the 15th century, when Ottomans first took control of Albanian land.[4] Most historians argue that the actual struggle for independence came with the development of Albanian nationalism in the 19th century. This spark emerged particularly among their diaspora in Southern Italy, the descendants of Albanians who fled after the defeat of Skandberg in the 15th century.[4]
