Summary/Abstract: After he had taken the throne of the Pasha of loannina (1884), documentary sources, diplomatic and military reports and information of the time, notices of foreign travelers, etc., indicate that Ali Pasha aimed without interruption to expand and establish a powerful pashalik and then "an independent Albanian state", as Fleming says. In the service of this goal, already in the first years of his career, the pasha worked with insistence and prudence in identifying and selecting potential European allies, through which he intended to draw them into alliances and thus create the necessary conditions for rebellion against the Sublime Porte, secession from it, and the declaration of an independent state.
