Albania is a small country located in the Balkans. The population of Albania is just over three million, and the capital city is Tirana. Albania has a long history, dating back to the Roman Empire. Albania was also part of the Ottoman Empire for centuries, and this is reflected in the country's culture and architecture. Albania gained independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912, but it became a communist state after World War II. Albania began to move away from communism in the 1990s, and it is now a democracy.
