Person
Tewodros II
Emperor of Ethiopia
Tewodros II (also known as Theodore II; c. 1818–April 13, 1868) is the Emperor of Ethiopia from 1855 until his death.
He was born Kassa Haile Giorgis, but was more regularly referred to as Kassa Hailu (meaning "restitution" and "His [or the] power").
His rule is often placed as the beginning of modern Ethiopia, ending the decentralized Zemene Mesafint (Age of the Princes).
