As the multi-national Ottoman Empire began to fall apart in the
aftermath of the Russo-Turkish war of 1878, the Albanian people
faced the peril of being absorbed into the surrounding newly formed
nation-states of Southeastern Europe. Albanian leaders met at
Prizren in 1878 to devise a strategy to defend their national
rights. The Formation of the Albanian National Consciousness
explores the origins of the movement that ultimately led to the
creation of the modern-day Albanian nation-state. Had a national
consciousness failed to develop prior to the crisis of 1878, the
creation of a national movement, which not only sought to protect
Albanian lands against foreign annexation but also strove to unite
the four Albanian vilayets into a single autonomous administrative
unit, would not have been possible. The development of a national
consciousness during the decades preceding 1878 built the
foundation for the national movement that culminated in the
creation of the League of Prizren and ultimately led to the
formation of an independent Albanian nation-state in 1912.
