The Ottoman sultan, faced with growing international pressure to "pacify" the refractory Albanians, dispatch a large army under Dervish Turgut Pasha to suppress the Prizren League and deliver Ulcinj to Montenegro.

Albanians loyal to the empire support the Sublime Porte's military intervention.

In April 1881, Dervish Pasha's ten thousand men capture Prizren and later crush the resistance at Ulcinj.

The Prizren League's leaders and their families are arrested and deported.

Frasheri, who originally receives a death sentence, is imprisoned until 1885 and exiled until his death seven years later.

In the three years it survives, the Prizren League effectively makes the Great Powers aware of the Albanian people and their national interests.

Montenegro and Greece receive much less Albanian-populated territory than they would have won without the league's resistance.
