He literally was the descendant of the second Christian country in the world, the first being Armenia.

Well, all those badges on his chest are masonic degrees and royal "order of the -----" symbols, so maybe he was playing a part just like everyone else.

Ethiopia was never conquered and part of a european empire so maybe this was the guy who signed Ethiopia over to the international clique

They're a mix of semitic/cushitic peoples.
Basically they made some cool stuff, then Axum fell. Warring minifactions with their own king based on ethicity/language. Fought against Islamic invasion so thats a plus.

Problem: LOTS of paranoia. No one really trusts each other there, However they are always ready to work together to BTFO (to the best of their ability) of Foreigners who want their resources.

Haile Selassie kinda married into the throne. He was not really of noble birth like his wife was. Got lots of help from the English. He tried his best to educate the public (against the wishes of his advisors). Eventually commies got to him though. Ethiopian leaders are a mixed bag mane.

T. Abyssinian ancestry

Ethiopians privately believe this too.
