Albanian independence movements had been active for centuries, but their support grew after nations such as Serbia and Bulgaria gained their independence from the Ottoman empire. Several of these states saw Albanian land as their own and theirs for the taking. The Albanians largely supported the Ottomans during the Russo-Turkish war of 1877, and the treaty of San Stivano that ended the war, gave Albanian land to Montenegro and Greece. As the century turned, Albanian demands for greater rights, and autonomy within the empire grew, and came to their peak with the Young Turk Revolution in 1908. The changes to the Albanian section of the empire including the increase of taxes, forced conscription and other issues, caused the Albanians to rise up in revolt, once in 1910 and again in 1912. The revolt of 1912 was caused by not only the failure during the Italo-Turkish war, but also by the Balkan war. With Albanian land and cities being occupied in all directions by Serbs, Greeks, Montenegrins and Bulgarians. This led to the Albanian declaration of Independence on November 28th, 1912. A declaration that was completely ignored by the occupying powers. But when the war ended in May of 1913, Albanian independence was recognized in the London Conference and Treaty of Bucharest. However, only about 40% of the ethic Albanian land was incorporated into this state, and most of the nation was occupied by great powers forces. • A government was eventually formed under German prince William Zu Wied with Essad Pasha as Minister of War, Tribal leaders pledged loyalty to Wied, but he lost a large amount of support through his policies and reforms such as the separation of Church and State, giving autonomy to the Greeks in Epirus who had proclaimed their own republic, and having Pasha arrested and sent to Italy for alleged double service and conspiracy. Days after this, central Albania was in open rebellion. Wien left the country on September the 3rd 1914, having lost control of most of the country. Essad Pasha returned to Albania and seceded most of Northern Albania, which was primarily catholic to Serbia in return for military support and financial aid. This region had been claimed and heavily influenced by the Austrians for years, who had established deep connections with the Catholics in the region. With some Austrian support, a group known as the kachcuz operated gurellia fighting against the Serbs in late 1915. kidtrjkpdtkptgftgf9349054890 • ________________________ • Support The Channel: • ♥Patreon ► / tipsyfishs • ♥PayPal ► https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TipsyF • Twitch ► / tipsyfishes • Twitter ► / tipsyfishs • Facebook ►: / tipsyhistory • Download TubeBuddy free ► https://www.tubebuddy.com/Tipsy • Download VidIQ free ► https://vidiq.com/#_l_28e • ________________________ • Other Channels: • Gaming Channel ► / @tipsyfishlive • Baking Channel ► / @cookingwithtipsy7048
