Who became King of Albania in 1928?

Zog I, King of the Albanians born Ahmet Muhtar Zogolli, taking the surname Zogu in 1922, was the leader of Albania from 1922 to 1939. He first served as Prime Minister of Albania (1922–1924), then as President (1925–1928), and finally as King (1928–1939). His rule as king was characterized by oppression of civil liberties and was similar to the concurrent regime in Italy.

On 1 September 1928, Albania was transformed into a kingdom, and President Zogu became Zog I, King of the Albanians. On the same day as he was declared king (he was never technically crowned), he was declared Field Marshal of the Royal Albanian Army. In 1938, Zog opened the borders of Albania to Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in Nazi Germany.
