Overview

Excerpt from Abyssinia, the Ethiopian Railway and the Powers: Being a Narrative of Recent Events in the Ethiopian Empire Nearly Affecting the Relations Between Great Britain and France, and the Maintenance of the Entente Cordiale Abyssinia occupies in some respects a unique position among the native kingdoms of Africa. With the doubtful exception of Morocco, it is the only African state of any importance which has succeeded in main taining its independence during the European invasion of the continent, begun some three decades ago. That Abyssinia is not to-day under the tutelage of any European Power is due, in the main, to the remarkable man who, in 1889, succeeded Johannes II. As Emperor. Menelik II., Negusa Negus, Lion of Judah, King 6! Kings of Ethiopia, as his Majesty is designated in official documents, was, before he established his right to the larger dignity, King of Shoa, the most southern of the confederacy of kingdoms which together constitute the empire of Ethiopia.
