After World War II , the Cham issue gains a new status more dramatic . It was not a matter of remaining minority further Greek -Albanian border , fighting for his rights and national organizations in the context of the Greek state , but becomes the issue of an entire population forcibly evicted from their homes . During the war years , Albania's attitude towards the issue Cham bent in two variants, the two groups answered the struggle for power : the right group , represented by the National Front , and leftist group , represented by the National Liberation Front Communist Party . Right group , has stated that his vision for open ethnic Albania , the compromised themselves in relation to major allies , the unification of Albanian adopted by the Nazi invaders , which in case of winning the war by the Allies , will undoubtedly hinder Albania's position in the peace treaties .
On the other hand , when it became clear that the Germans would lose the war , and along with them their national affiliates , the National Front entered a dangerous adventure to another , ranging talks with his counterparts , Greek right to Napoleon Zervas , associated with post-war creation of a dual Greek-Albanian state , a confederation , where Greece would control the main functions ranging from the military. Both solutions provided by the National Front were unrealistic and would result , if realized , to the detriment of the people of Albania Cham issue .
National Liberation Front and the Communist Party were found closer to a realistic solution in line with global conjunctures . They did not recognize " Greater Albania " created under the guns of the occupying powers , considering what a creature alogjene , who can stay for as long as the war lasted , at most , and it was evident . On the other hand , the Cham problem solving that problem now return to their lands of an entire population forcibly removed from the phalanx of Zervas in 1944 - '45 , present greater opportunities in terms of a victory Greek leftist . It had proved a more realistic attitude towards the Cham population , while the right Zervas and Greek had made clear their sole option , the final resolution of the Cham problem , through a clean operation of ethnic cleansing .
However , BP was not an option for the Cham union with Albania after the war , such as had in Kosovo in case of a consensus Tito . It was clear that in postwar Greece will play a crucial role in particular the U.S. and UK, which is not in vain had invested with military , financial and political . It is well known that Churchill became a sponsor decided to Greek -right plans for the annexation of the so-called Northern Epirus , and not in vain British government statement on Albania in 1942 left open the question of Albania's southern borders . Of course , these positions recognized by Albanian communists , as recognized by the nationalists . So , the Albanian communists , the Cham issue identified at the end of the war with more emergent aspect of it, the restoration of the pre-war circumstances , namely the restoration of the Cham population deported to their homes .
