When and where was the Albanian League founded?

The Albanian League was founded on July 1, 1878, in Prizren, a town located in present-day Kosovo.12

As the first Albanian nationalist organization, it was established to defend and promote national interests during a period when the region faced the threat of partition by neighboring powers following the Russo-Turkish War. The league sought to unify Albanian territories into a single autonomous state within the Ottoman Empire and to foster the development of the Albanian language and culture. Although it was suppressed by the Ottoman government by 1881, the league served as a crucial symbol of national awakening that eventually contributed to the declaration of Albania's independence in 1912.12
