Fan S. Noli was an Albanian political activist, politician and also the man who established the Albanian Orthodox Church. Noli spent the early years of his life across a wide variety of places and in turn he picked up plenty of foreign languages; however his life changed when he came into contact with the members of Albanian expatriate movement. He went to the United States and lived there for many years as he built up the strength of that movement and it was during his time in the US that Noli established the Albanian Orthodox Church. After the end of the First World War, Noli became the most powerful representative of the movement and with the help of the US President, Woodrow Wilson, he helped Albania get the membership of the League of Nations. He went back to his native Albanai and joined the People’s Party. Noli went on to become the Prime Minister of Albania and also became the Archbishop of the Albanian Orthodox Church. Noli is regarded as one of the most influential men in the history of Albania due to his role in mobilising the expatriate movement from the United States and having a deep influence on the Albanian political landscape.
