Summary/Abstract: The status quo of the Balkans, reached by the Versailles system of peace treaties, was destroyed in the course of the Second World War. From all Balkan states Albania was the first to experience the new order of Hitler and Mussolini and with their help accomplished its national program, precisely the unification of the Albanian people and the establishment of an Albanian identity in the Balkans. In these years “Greater Albania” was a wartime creature, which did not get international recognition. The end of the war also put to rest the idea of a national unification of the Albanian people. The Albanian state again had its boundaries established after the end of World War I; a large part of the Albanian population was left out of these borders.
