Albania has a population of about 2.9 million people and the capital is Tirana. Albania has a long and complex history, with roots dating back to ancient Illyria. It has been conquered and ruled by various powers throughout its history, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians. It declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912, but was later occupied by fascist Italy during World War II. After the war, it became a communist state under the rule of Enver Hoxha and remained isolated from the rest of the world until the collapse of the communist regime in the early 1990s. Since then, Albania has made progress in transitioning to a market economy and integrating with the international community. It is a member of the United Nations and the Council of Europe, and has applied for membership in the European Union.
