departure from his residence, after handing the City of Shkoder over to<br />
Ahmet Beg Zogolli in 1920<br />

lead by F. S. Noli. The Prefecture building was set on fire where the<br />
daring gendarmerie commander, the captain Ferid Frasheri, was<br />
killed.<br />
Willing to achieve the economic development and political<br />
stability within the pruned Albania of the 1913 borders, Nolists<br />
attempted to establish a liberal republic with a capitalist market<br />
economy. The projects failed leaving behind large basic needs,<br />
poverty and distress. Some representatives of international trust<br />
companies and monopolies, interested in investing in mineral<br />
resources, left.<br />
1925-1939: The capitalist development process was restored;<br />
there was an increase in the investments in infrastructure, education<br />
and in tobacco, cement, consumption, alcoholic drinks and textile<br />
industry. The public order was fully restored, juridical powers<br />
succeeded in becoming independent, the school was separated from<br />
the religion and political stability prevailed.<br />
