Hoxha, Enver (1908–1985)

Albanian communist politician, the country's leader from 1954. He founded the Albanian Communist Party in 1941, and headed the liberation movement 1939–44. He was prime minister 1944–54, also handling foreign affairs 1946–53, and from 1954 was first secretary of the Albanian Party of Labour. In policy he was a Stalinist and independent of both Chinese and Soviet communism.

Following World War II, in November 1945, Hoxha's government obtained allied recognition on condition that free elections were held. On 2 December 1945 a communist-controlled assembly was elected, and Albania declared a republic on 11 January 1946.
