Quick Summary

Fan S. Noli was an American-educated bishop and a liberal intellectual who led a movement to modernize Albania in the 1920s. He advocated for Western-style democracy, land reform, and modernization. In 1924, a popular revolt led by Noli forced the conservative chieftain Ahmed Bey Zogu to flee the country. Noli was installed as prime minister, but his government was short-lived. After only six months, Zogu, with Yugoslavian aid, overthrew Noli's regime. Noli's efforts to build a Western-style democracy were hampered by a depleted treasury and a lack of international recognition.12
