The development of Albanian nationalism was not uniform from the beginning and it
followed distinct patterns. First there were local protest movements, some were culturally based
while others were created by the local elite to protest against local and specific problems. Later
these different patterns in Albanian nationalism turned into mass uprising during the 1910 and
1911s. The aim of this paper is to understand the crucial period of mass uprising of Albanians and
to analyse how these different patterns in the movement had participated and expressed themselves,
what the basic motivation of uniting around a common purpose was, and ease and difficulties in
this regard.
