Description

Haile Selassie: The Life and Legacy of the Ethiopian Emperor Revered as the Messiah The modern history of Africa was written largely from the perspective of European powers, who colonized the continent in the late 19th century. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 marked a turning point in this process, establishing rules for European seizure of Africa. However, the leaders of the Allies showed little willingness to intervene on behalf of Abyssinia, an African kingdom that was invaded by Italy in 1935. Abyssinia's sovereignty was recognized by the international community, and its emperor, Haile Selassie, was revered as a symbol of African resistance. Despite this, the country was forced to navigate the complexities of European politics, and its legacy has been shaped by the events of the 20th century. This book provides an in-depth look at the life and legacy of Haile Selassie, exploring the historical context in which he ruled and the impact of his reign on the modern world.
