Page "History of Albania" Paragraph 54

However, in the 19th century after the fall of the Albanian pashaliks and the Massacre of the Albanian Beys an Albanian National Awakening took place and many revolts against the Ottoman Empire were organized.

Such revolts included the Albanian Revolts of 1833-1839, the Revolt of 1843-44, and the Revolt of 1847.

A culmination of the Albanian National Awakening were the League of Prizren ( 1878 – 1881, with the backing of sultan Abdulhamid II ) and the League of Peja, but they were unsuccessful to an Albanian independence, which occurred only in 1912, through the Albanian Declaration of Independence.
