The 1997 rebellion in Albania was in large part triggered by the failure of multiple pyramid schemes. These schemes, which grew to an unprecedented scale relative to the country's economy, led to many Albanians losing their money and property, culminating in widespread protests across Albania that eventually escalated into a nation-wide rebellion.[1][2] At their peak, it was estimated that one in six Albanians had invested in such schemes.
