Creating a Greater Albania uniting all major groups of Albanians in one state is the proclaimed aim of some Albanian political and military groups.
The justification for the borders presented often includes reference to the situation prior to World War I, and the argument that these pre-war boundaries should be restored.
The allegation that Albanians are seeking to create a Greater Albania is often presented by non-Albanians in situations where Albanian minorities seek greater minority rights (for example in the Former Yugoslava Republic of Macedonia), or in Kosovo.
