Ali Pash\u00eb Tepelena (1740\u20131822), powerful ruler in Southern Albania, founder of the Pashalik of Ioannina, rebel against the power of the Sublime Porte in Albania, passed away. The policy of Ali Pash\u00eb Tepelena aimed at the autonomy and unification of the Albanian provinces under his rule. The open war against the Sultan further deepened the gap between Albania and the Ottoman rulers and helped to prepare the ground for a new higher stage of the anti-Ottoman liberation movement of the Albanian people, for the National Renaissance.
