Albanian National Awakening

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Albanian National Awakening or the National Renaissance or the National Revival refers to the period in the history of Albania from 1831 until the Albanian Declaration of Independence in 1912. Its activists are called Revivalists. It began with the fall of the semi-independent Albanian-ruled Pashaliks of Ioannina and Shkodër. In 1912, with the outbreak of the First Balkan War, the Albanians rose up and declared the creation of an independent Albania, which included what are now Albania and Kosovo. On December 20, 1912 the Conference of Ambassadors in London recognized an independent Albania within its present-day borders. The rise of Albanian nationalism first sparked with the Battle of Deçiq on April 6, 1911, which was located in the town of Tuzi, Malësi e Madhe.
