The Thopia expansionist Wars were a series of military campaigns by the Thopia dynasty led by Karl Thopia against neighbouring states during the years of 1358–1385. During these years, the Thopia regularly engaged with the Anjou who were in control of the city of Durrës and also with the Balshaj who were also expanding their territory in Albania.
