ALBANIA

The state of Albania became independent of the Ottoman Empire on November 28th 1912. Prince Wilhelm zu Wied, nephew of the Queen of Romania, was elected Prince of Albania and arrived in the country March 7th 1914, but left the country September 3rd of the same year. The country became a republic on January 31st 1925 with Ahmed Zogu as its president. He took the title King of the Albanians as Zog I on September 1st 1928. Albania was annexed by Italy in April 1939, which lasted till 1943. The monarchy was abolished January 11 1946.
The first proven ancestor of the Zogu dynasty is Mahmud Pasha Zogolli, Hereditary Governor of Mati, who lived in the beginning of the 19th century. Earliest known member of the family Zogu Pasha moved from Kosova to Mati at the end of the 15th century and converted to Islam.
