What happened to Albania after the Ottoman reoccupation was completed by 1506?

Following the completion of the Ottoman reoccupation of Albania by 1506, the country entered a period of over four centuries of Turkish rule that significantly altered its social, economic, and cultural landscape.12

Impact of Ottoman Rule

• Isolation and Decline: Albania was largely cut off from the Renaissance unfolding in Western Europe, preventing the country from benefiting from the era's humanistic achievements. The conquest caused widespread destruction to the economy, commerce, art, and culture.12
• Migration: To escape persecution, approximately one-fourth of the population fled to southern Italy, Sicily, and the Dalmatian coast.12
• Islamization: To check resistance and bring the region closer to the empire, the Ottomans initiated a drive to convert the population to Islam. By the end of the 17th century, two-thirds of the population had converted, often to escape the "crushing tax" imposed on Christians.12
• Governance: The Ottomans implemented the timar system, a feudal military structure. While the empire maintained formal sovereignty, it struggled to exert total control, particularly in the highlands where local resistance remained persistent.12
