Ahmed Zogu:
King Zog Tells his Story
http://www.albanianhistory.net/texts20_2/AH1933.html
Born as Ahmet Muhtar Bey Zogolli, he changed his family name
to Zogu, meaning "bird" in the Albanian language, droping the Turkish
suffix "olli (oğlu)", meaning "son of".

Ahmet Bey ZOGU (b. Oct. 8, 1895, Castle Burgajet, Albania--d.
April 9, 1961, Suresnes, France), president of Albania from 1925 to 1928 and king
from 1928 to 1939. Though able to manipulate Albania's
internal affairs to his own advantage, he came to depend heavily on Benito
Mussolini's Italy
and was eventually ousted by the Italian dictator on the eve of World War II.
Siding with Austria
during World War I, Zog thereafter became a leader of the reformist Popular
Party. He held ministerial posts from 1920 until he was forced into exile in
June 1924, but he returned with Yugoslav assistance in December, was elected
president on Feb. 1, 1925, and was proclaimed king on Sept. 1, 1928. Zog ended
a period of postwar political turbulence, and Albania enjoyed relative
tranquility under his regime. He began a fateful association with Italy in 1925;
a loan in that year was followed in 1926 by a treaty of friendship and security
and in 1927 by a 20-year defensive military alliance between the two countries.
Mussolini made Albania his
bridgehead to the Balkans, and by 1939 Italy controlled the country's finances
and army. Zog tried but failed to break that hold from 1932 onward. On April 7,
1939, Mussolini finally made Albania
into a protectorate; Victor Emmanuel III became king, and Zog went into exile.
His hopes of returning after the war were disappointed by the establishment of
a communist republic under Enver Hoxha in 1945. He formally abdicated on Jan.
2, 1946.
