Albanian national identity
A group of people from Albania who settled Italy in the 15th century began with efforts to build the Albanian national identity since the beginning of 19th century.[1] Well into 20th century few people saw themselves first and foremost as Albanians while some scholars emphasize that the Albanian national feeling fully developed only after Second World War.[2]

As underscored by Pawlovitch, as late as 1922 "the country was not yet a united one; few saw themselves first and foremost as Albanians,"59 while Stark Draper claimes that the Albanian national feeling fully developed only after the Second World War
