Comments

Menelik II (1844/1913), który zaczynał jako Negus, został cesarzem lub królem królów w 1888 roku.
Powiększył kraj i nadał mu status nowoczesnego państwa, tworząc infrastrukturę, taką jak szpitale, szkoły i armię zdolną do odparcia włoskich ataków.
Zmarł w 1913 r., pozostawiając władzę swojemu wnukowi, który był zbyt młody, by panować. Automatically translated

Ménélik II (1844/1913) d'abord Négus, devient empereur , ou Roi des Rois en 1888.
Il agrandit le pays et lui donne un statut de pays moderne en créant des infrastructures comme les hôpitaux, les écoles et une armée capable de repousser les avancées italiennes.
Il meurt en 1913, laissant le pouvoir à son petit-fils, alors trop jeune pour régner.
