In the 3rd century BC, the area was annexed by Rome and became part of the Roman provinces of Dalmatia, Macedonia and Moesia Superior.

In response, Benito Mussolini issued an ultimatum to Greece and, when it was not accepted in whole, dispatched forces to bombard and occupy Corfu. Mussolini defied the League of Nations and stated Italy would leave if it arbitrated in the crisis, and the Conference of Ambassadors instead eventually tendered an agreement favouring Italy.

The Albanian-Yugoslav Border War of 1921 was fought over the unsettled borders of the recently formed Principality of Albania in the aftermath of the First Balkan War. Although rough terms regarding the territories of Albania were set out in the 1913 Treaty of London, refined borders remained an unsettled issue throughout the outbreak of World War I, the Paris Peace Conference, and the formation of the League of Nations. After the League did not issue a final decision for a year, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia decided to press territorial claims following the Mirdita rebellion and sent troops to the border. As skirmishes began to escalate, the League recognized the severity of the issue and began to intervene. The conflict ended after the United Kingdom recognized Albania causing Yugoslavia to withdraw its forces. A commission was created to finalize the borders. To gain favor with the commission, Albania and Yugoslavia established diplomatic relations resulting in Yugoslavia's recognition of Albanian sovereignty.
