The Albanians’ armed struggle of three years…
May 1912 CE
The Albanians’ armed struggle of three years (1910–12) forces the Turks to agree, in effect, to grant their demands.
Albania's Balkan neighbors—Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Bulgaria—who have already made plans to partition the region, react with alarm at the prospect of Albanian autonomy.
In spite of their conflicting interests, the four countries conclude a series of secret bilateral treaties that have as their explicit intention the ejection of the Turks from Europe.
