Zemene Mesafint, or the "Era of the Princes," significantly impacted Emperor Tewodros II by challenging his authority and control over the fragmented Ethiopian nobility. This period of decentralization and power struggles among regional lords made Tewodros's efforts to unify and modernize Ethiopia particularly difficult. His attempts to centralize power and establish a strong central government led to conflicts with powerful regional leaders, ultimately shaping his policies and military campaigns. Tewodros's reign was marked by efforts to overcome the legacies of Zemene Mesafint, influencing both his domestic and foreign policies.
Tewodros II was the Ethiopian emperor who reigned from 1855 till his death in 1868. After being defeated in battle by British forces led by Robert Napier, Tewodros committed suicide to evade capture.
