• Resumen

  • During the First World War the Ethiopian Empire experienced a deep political turmoil due to the coup d’état organized by Shoa aristocrats against the emperor Ligg Jasu/Lji Iyasu and the following civil war which brought Menelik’s daughter, Zauditù/Zewditu, to the imperial throne and Tafari Maconnen to the position of heir to the throne and regent. Purpose of the essay is to analyse the attitude of Italy, France and Great Britain toward Ethiopia and its internal political changes as well as to explain the political and territorial ambitions of the three European powers in the Horn of Africa in those years
