Albania (1914-1925, Principality)

On February 21st, 1914 the crown of Albania was given by the 18 districts to Wilhelm zu Wied. Although he was adressed by foreign nations as prince, in Albania he was called Mbret which is to be seen as King. Wilhelm and his family entered Albania in Durrës under the protection of Dutch Gendermes. Wilhelm however never succeeded in gaining authority in the country and when World War 1 started he did not receive any help form any nation. He left the country on September 3rd, 1914 to never return to it again. After the First World War a council of Four reigned the country as regents until it became a republic in 1925.
