Description

On September 1, 1928, the kingdom of Albania was proclaimed, and Zogu Military dictatorship The model will be the constitutional monarchy of Italy, in whom the regime has been supporting. From the crisis of 29, the Italian influence will be greater, despite ZOG”s resistance due to debt payment problems. The reforms of the Republic continue to modernize the country, suspending Islamic law and approving the Civil Code, as Ataturk had done in Turkey Recentmene. Zog I is not well accepted by Western monarchies, because they see it as self -proclaimed and without family ties, which he did with other monarchies in Muslim countries. In fact, Zog uses his last name and not his name Ahmet, for the rejection he could generate in other European countries. In the positive part, the reign of Zog I was another step in the Albanian National Unit and Identity, although with a police regime with censorship and restricted freedoms. In 1939, Italy invades Albania (jealous of the Nazi annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia) and makes it a protectorate under the king of Italy. Zog flees to Greece and later to the United Kingdom, never returning to Albania, since the communist regime did not allow it. The mintings were made in frang = 5 lek, equivalent to a Franco-Christ.
