International recognition arrived forthwith. The new constitution abolished the Albanian Senate and created a unicameral <a href="/wiki/Assembly_of_Albania" class="mw-redirect" title="Assembly of Albania">Assembly</a>. Although nominally a constitutional monarch, in practice King Zog retained the dictatorial powers he had held as President Zogu.

Zog had accumulated a great number of enemies over the years, and the Albanian tradition of <a href="/wiki/Blood_vengeance" class="mw-redirect" title="Blood vengeance">blood vengeance</a> required them to try to kill him.

Nevertheless, on a visit to <a href="/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna">Vienna</a> in 1931, Zog and his bodyguards fought a gun battle with would-be assassins on the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Vienna_Opera_House&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Vienna Opera House (page does not exist)">Opera House</a> steps (<a href="/wiki/Zog_I_of_Albania#Assassination_attempts" class="mw-redirect" title="Zog I of Albania">Zog I of Albania § Assassination attempts</a>). </p><p>Zog remained sensitive to steadily mounting disillusion with the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Italy" title="Kingdom of Italy">Kingdom of Italy</a>'s domination of Albania.

According to the Organic Law of Education (June 1928), the purpose of early education was to raise children morally, to develop their spiritual and physical strength and to equip them with knowledge and skills necessary for their private and social life. </p><p>Initial education was compulsory and was given free of charge.

Among the primary schools, the following are appointed as teachers: </p> <ul><li>Those who had completed a Normal school for teachers.</li> <li>Those who had finished a Lyceum and who have a didactic course or after a pedagogical exam.</li> <li>In the absence of the above, those who had finished the 4-year gymnasium and other schools equivalent to these can be appointed as assistant teachers, and after serving for four years, they could be appointed as definitive teachers according to an aptitude test.</li></ul> <p>Secondary education was organized "in the most suitable way to strengthen the will and discipline in the work of the Albanian youth and to awaken the sense of duty towards oneself and towards the Motherland and equip it with a general and national culture."<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The types of secondary schools were: gymnasium and lyceum where all subjects were taught in French; Normal commercial institutes, city schools and technical institutes.

The normal school of the commercial institute was considered as a high level school, the city school is the lower level and the technical institute high level. </p><p>The branches that a city school could have, the division of which begins in the third year, were: trade, woodworking, ironworking, animal husbandry, agriculture and home economics. </p><p>The grades used in secondary schools were: 1 (very good); 2 (good); 3 (fairly good): 4 (passable); 5 (bad); 6 (very bad).

During this year, Zog saw the first signs of the crisis, mainly in the financial and <a href="/wiki/Monetary_system" title="Monetary system">monetary system</a>; they became more sensitive in 1930. The peak of the crisis was between 1934 and 1935. Most industries were paralyzed or went bankrupt. The crisis deeply affected all credit systems. At this time, due to the ongoing budget deficit, and financial difficulties evident in many areas and sectors of the country, loans were taken from Western countries, but the majority were from Italy. </p><p>In 1931, Albanian agriculture was affected by a major drought which caused serious consequences in the national food supply. In 1932, as a result of this situation, 33% more wheat and corn was imported. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:King_Zog_I.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/King_Zog_I.jpg/220px-King_Zog_I.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="333" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/King_Zog_I.jpg/330px-King_Zog_I.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/King_Zog_I.jpg/440px-King_Zog_I.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2148" data-file-height="3250" /></a><figcaption>King <a href="/wiki/Ahmet_Zogu" class="mw-redirect" title="Ahmet Zogu">Zog</a> of Albania</figcaption></figure> <p>The crisis of 1930–1934 differs in many ways: the percentage of the population living with non-agricultural employment was reduced from 15.9% in 1930 to 15.4% in 1938. Albanian exports grew from 2 million gold francs to 12 million between 1923 and 1931, but fell back to 1923 levels within the next two years. A difficult situation occurred between 1935 and 1936 when the government was forced to distribute emergency food aid in poor areas. Places that sold Albanian goods placed tariffs on imports of cheese and butter. The crisis affected the livestock industry, which accounted for 70% of total national exports. Another significant impact was the establishment of the so-called "tax xhelepit", which applied to head/livestock. In 1933, the state cut the taxes by 50%. </p><p>Peasant farmers accounted for the vast majority of the Albanian population. Albania had practically no industry, and the country's potential for hydroelectric power was virtually untapped. Oil was the country's main extractable resource. The Italians took over the oil-drilling concessions of all other foreign companies in 1939 by creating the company "Sveja". A pipeline between the Kuçovë oil field and Vlorë's port expedited shipments of crude petroleum to Italy's refineries. This company dealt with Albania's natural resources. Albania also possessed: bitumen, lignite, iron, chromite, copper, bauxite, manganese, and some gold. Shkodër had a cement factory; Korçë, a brewery; and Durrës and Shkodër, cigarette factories that used locally grown tobacco. </p><p>In 1934, the price of the grain reached the lowest level, at about 7.5 gold francs. A strong decline in prices, mainly in the agricultural and livestock industry, affected the monetary and credit policies of the National Commercial Bank. During the years of the crisis, the bank reduced the amount of currency in circulation, which worsened the deflation. The artificially increased value of the franc lowered the prices of products. In mid-1935, Albania entered a recovery phase. Industry recovered, and Zogu created tax incentives, especially for cement factories, which were made exempt from taxes for three years. </p><p>Between 1933 and 1935, economic development emerged in the agriculture, livestock and industrial capital industries. Construction of roads and bridges began, along with fifty-three telegraph post links. </p><p>During much of the interwar period, Italians held most of the technical jobs in the Albanian economy. Albania had four ports: Durrës, Shëngjin, Vlorë, and Sarandë. Albania's main exports were petroleum, animal skins, cheese, livestock, and eggs. Primary imports were grain and other foodstuffs, metal products, and machinery. In 1939, the value of Albania's imports was four times that of its exports. About seventy percent of Albania's exports went to Italy. Italian factories furnished about forty percent of Albania's imports, and the Italian government paid for the rest. </p><p>In 1938 there was a general activation of the national capital in industry. During this period the number of enterprises reached 244, while the number of employees at State administration rose up to 7.435. Industrial production rose, while agriculture declined. In 1938, the total area of agricultural land estimated at 1,163 hectares (2,874 acres), about 39.5% of the occupied state and private property, while smallholders owned 60%. </p><p>Cereal production in Albania did not meet its needs. Wheat production was estimated at 38,000 tons, while production of maize was 143,000 tons. After the crisis, the production of industrial crops rose. Tobacco accounted for about 1,100 hectares (2,600 acres). Cereal crops were also grown. Framers planted about 1.2 million roots for cereal crops, 100,000 citrus roots, 41.5 million vineyard roots, and 1.6 million olive trees roots. </p><p>During the period between 1936 and 1938 the economy recovered. Trade amounted to 32.7 million gold francs, with 65% growth. Exports grew by 61.5% and imports by 67.3%. Exports in 1938 represented 66.3% of the 1928 level. During the 1936–1938 period the state budget had increased. The Albanian kingdom period was characterized by the growing number of utility works; in 1939 there were thirty-six enterprises in the construction industry. </p><p>During this eleven-year period serious efforts were made to create a national road network using an investment of sixty million gold francs borrowed from the Italian Kingdom. During the ten-year period between 1929 and 1939 850 km of main roads, 456 km of secondary roads, 4,062 small bridges 10,250 miles long, and seventy-six major bridges 2,050 miles in length were constructed. This period also introduced the construction of a sewage network, and, for the first time, money was invested to build segments of roads in the northern part of Albania. The most important roads were: Shkodër-Puka, Mat-Bishop Bridge, Krujë-Mat, Tirana-Elbasan, Lushnjë-Mbrostar, Korçë-Burrel, Burrel-Dibër, Tiranë-Shijak-Durrës, Tiranë-Ndroq-Durrës, and Tiranë-Krrabë-Elbasan. Engineers from Europe were employed to complete these projects. In 1938, the value of investments reached 150 million <a href="/wiki/Albanian_Lek" class="mw-redirect" title="Albanian Lek">Albanian Lek</a> (1961 currency prices). On the eve of the fascist invasion, Albania had 300 trucks, 20 buses, and 200 cars and pickups. </p><p>During 1938, 95,000 tons of cargo were transported, equal to 1 million tons per kilometer. During the same period, the total turnover of goods in retail trade amounted to 3,900 million in 1947 prices. On 28 November 1938, Radio Tirana, the national radio station began broadcasting. Construction of the port of Durrës began. The construction of brace works, irrigation canals, etc., was interrupted by the beginning of World War II (1939–1945). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Military">Military</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Albanian_Kingdom_(1928%E2%80%931939)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Military"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Albanian_Army_1939.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Albanian_Army_1939.jpg/220px-Albanian_Army_1939.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="259" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Albanian_Army_1939.jpg/330px-Albanian_Army_1939.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Albanian_Army_1939.jpg/440px-Albanian_Army_1939.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="754" /></a><figcaption>Honor guard of the Royal Albanian Army around 1939.</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Royal_Albanian_Army" title="Royal Albanian Army">Royal Albanian Army</a> was the army of the Albanian Kingdom and King Zogu from 1928 until 1939.

Despite meager educational opportunities, literature flourished in Albania between the two world wars. Substantial progress had been achieved in literature, and art publishing operations.

A Franciscan priest and poet, <a href="/wiki/Gjergj_Fishta" title="Gjergj Fishta">Gjergj Fishta</a>, dominated the literary scene with his poems about the Albanians' perseverance during their quest for freedom. During this period 600 night schools were opened in an attempt to eradicate illiteracy, but in 1939 80% of the adult population was still illiterate. </p><p>In 1939 Albania had 643 primary schools and 18 high schools.

Those who wanted to continue their education often went abroad to Italy, Austria, France etc... In 1939 about 420 Albanians were studying abroad.

The national hymn characterized neither Muhammad nor Jesus Christ, but King Zogu as "Shpëtimtari i Atdheut" (Savior of the Fatherland). The hymn to the flag honored the soldier dying for his country as a "Saint". Increasingly the mosque and the church were expected to function as servants of the state, the patriotic clergy of all faiths preaching the gospel of Albanism. </p><p>Monarchy stipulated that the state should be neutral, with no official religion and that the free exercise of religion should be extended to all faiths. Neither in government nor in the school system should favor be shown to any one faith over another. Albanism was substituted for religion, and officials and schoolteachers were called "apostles" and "missionaries." Albania's sacred symbols were no longer the cross and the crescent, but the Flag and the King. Hymns idealizing the nation, Skanderbeg, war heroes, the king and the flag predominated in public-school music classes to the exclusion of virtually every other theme. </p><p>The first reading lesson in elementary schools introduced a patriotic catechism beginning with this sentence, "I am an Albanian. My country is Albania." Then there follows in poetic form, "But man himself, what does he love in life?" "He loves his country." "Where does he live with hope? Where does he want to die?" "In his country." "Where may he be happy, and live with honor?" "In Albania."<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The imminent birth of an Albanian royal child meanwhile threatened to give Zog a lasting dynasty. After Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia (March 15, 1939) without notifying Mussolini in advance, the Italian dictator decided to proceed with his own annexation of Albania. Italy's King <a href="/wiki/Victor_Emmanuel_III_of_Italy" class="mw-redirect" title="Victor Emmanuel III of Italy">Victor Emmanuel III</a> criticized the plan to take Albania as an unnecessary risk. </p><p>Rome, however, delivered Tirana an ultimatum on March 25, 1939, demanding that it accede to Italy's occupation of Albania. Zog refused to accept money in exchange for countenancing a full Italian takeover and colonization of Albania, and on April 7, 1939, Mussolini's troops <a href="/wiki/Invasion_of_Albania" class="mw-redirect" title="Invasion of Albania">invaded</a> Albania. Despite some stubborn resistance, especially at <a href="/wiki/Durr%C3%ABs" title="Durrës">Durrës</a>, the Italians made short work of the Albanians. </p><p>Unwilling to become an Italian puppet, King Zog, his wife, Queen <a href="/wiki/Geraldine_Apponyi" class="mw-redirect" title="Geraldine Apponyi">Geraldine Apponyi</a>, and their infant son Leka fled to Greece and eventually to London. On April 12, the Albanian parliament voted to unite the country with Italy. Victor Emmanuel III took the Albanian crown, and the Italians set up a fascist government under Shefqet Verlaci and soon absorbed Albania's military and diplomatic service into Italy's. </p><p>After the German army defeated <a href="/wiki/Poland" title="Poland">Poland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Denmark</a>, and <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, a still-jealous Mussolini decided to use Albania as a springboard to invade Greece. The Italians launched their attack on October 28, 1940, and at a meeting of the two fascist dictators in <a href="/wiki/Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a>, Mussolini stunned Hitler with his announcement of the Italian invasion. Mussolini counted on a quick victory, but Greek resistance fighters halted the Italian army in its tracks and soon advanced into Albania. The Greeks took <a href="/wiki/Kor%C3%A7%C3%AB" title="Korçë">Korçë</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gjirokast%C3%ABr" title="Gjirokastër">Gjirokastër</a> and threatened to drive the Italians from the port city of <a href="/wiki/Vlor%C3%AB" title="Vlorë">Vlorë</a>. The presence of the Greek troops fighting in Albania cooled the Albanians' enthusiasm for fighting the Italians and the Greeks, and Mussolini's forces soon established a stable front in central Albania. In April 1941, Germany and its allies crushed both Greece and Yugoslavia, and a month later the <a href="/wiki/Axis_powers" title="Axis powers">Axis</a> gave Albania control of <a href="/wiki/Kosovo" title="Kosovo">Kosovo</a>.
