Now im not saying albania was the only way, im saying at that time, the strategy of the turks was through albania, but little did they know, it was a bad decision.
Quoting: Albanian-1 yeah very bad, so bad i dont see it would be acted upon, did they intend to reach Italy? once Albania has fallen later on, they didnt suddenly find themselves marching on Rome. Instead they apparently go north Veinna, rather than west to Venice. the intention of the conquror(mehmet ii) was to reach italy. As he already conquored almost all of eastern europe. AFter he conquored greece and macedonia, he headed due west for rome. But, the albanians under skanderbeg kept him at bay for half a century. After finally taking albania, the will power was not strong enough to overtake rome... Of course, the albanian resistance bought precious time, nearly a 100 years before the ottoman headed for vienna.. That precious time, 100 years, proved vital for the rest of europe.
