Of which country was Ahmet Muhtar Zogolli king?

Ahmed Muhtar Zogolli (8 October 1895 – 9 April 1961) was the leader of Albania from 1922 to 1939. At age 27, he first served as Albania's youngest ever prime minister (1922–1924), then as president (1925–1928), and finally as King Zog I (1928–1939).

During World War I he was an ally of Austria and after the war he became the leader of the popular Reform Party. He held ministerial posts from 1920 until he was forced into exile in June 1924. He returned with the help of the Yugoslav government in December of the same year.

In 1925 he was appointed Prime Minister, later on February 1 President of Albania and then he proclaimed himself king before the Albanian National Assembly on September 1, 1928.

He signed a friendship treaty with Italy in 1925 and in 1927 a defensive alliance treaty with Mussolini, apart from economic assistance agreements. Those 20-year pacts and economic dependence ended up putting Albania under the absolute control of Italy.

Starting in 1932, he tried to free himself from the ties that tied him to Italy, which led Mussolini to invade the country in 1939. On April 8, 1939, he fled the country before Mussolini declared Albania a protectorate.

When he fled into exile, he carried much of the country's gold reserves. He was deposed in absentia while abdicating in France on January 2, 1946.

He died in Suresnes, France on April 9, 1961. In 2012 his remains were transferred to Albania.
