The Democratic Government of Albania was a short-lived socialist nation that ruled over Albania from 1944 to 1946. It was established by the National Liberation Movement during the end of the Second World War as a provisional government, and existed until the creation of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania in 1946. Its only prime minister was Enver Hoxha.
