"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460

Perse u zgjodh emri Albanian?

Këtu mund të flisni mbi historinë tonë duke sjellë fakte historike për ndriçimin e asaj pjese të historisë mbi të cilen ka rënë harresa e kohës dhe e njerëzve.

Perse u zgjodh emri Albanian?

Ne vitin 1880 disa gra ne nje qytet te Kalifornise Healdsburg zgjohen kete emer :

Healdsburg's Albanian Literary and Military Society

per te emeruar shoqerine e tyre letrare-ushtarake. Pse?
Per me teper lexoni:

It all started with a pair of fading sepia photographs I came across occasionally during searches in the archives. They intrigued me because one showed a group of prim young ladies in the bustled, tight-fitting, bust bunching street costume of the 1880's. The other showed the same girls in military uniforms, solemnly posed with very real looking firearms. On the back of both photographs was written, "Albanian Literary and Military Society".
Albanians? In Healdsburg? These ladies looked like WASPs. Literary and military society? That seemed a queer combination. What were these young ladies up to?
Unfortunately the club formed in the early 1880's, a time period for which there are no complete set of local newspapers. That gap in Healdsburg's historical record has caused many problems for local research, and threatened to leave the young "Albanians" forever a mystery.........

A u zgjodh ky emer per cilesite e vecanta ushtarake te shqiptareve?
