Line 94:
In 1914, the great powers agreed to try and unify Albania under a neutral prince, but Prince William of Weid proved an unsuccessful leader and came into conflict with his War Minister, Essed Pasha (a former warlord who had ruled much of central Albania). Essed was supported by Italy and Serbia and the prince by Austria-Hungary, and the resulting rebellion saw Essed flee to Italy, then return as his men beseiged Prince William in Durres. Prince William left Albania in September 1914, only 6 months after his arrival, while bands of Greek bandits effectively ruled the south of the country.
From [[1928]] on, the country was ruled by [[Zog I of Albania|King Zog I]] until [[1938]], when it became a puppet of [[Italy]].
The communist party, a creation of [[Tito]] in [[1941], led by the Serbs Dusan Mugosa and Miladin Popovic, had few followers among the Albanians and achieved little until the Germans retreated in [[1944]], but it took over in November, under the nominal leadership of [[Enver Hoxha]]. [[Tito]] intended to include Albania, with Kosovo, into a Yugoslav and possibly Balkan federation, but the Albanian Communists followed [[Stalin]] as he broke with [[Tito]] on June 28, [[1948]]
