Placed on the “Roof of Africa” Ethiopia was able to assert its influence over the surrounding lowlands, thriving in the safety of its mountains. A high ground badly needed against hostile attempts to take the empire down. Ethiopia and its King of kings defied not just its African neighbors but also European colonization attempts rendering it as one of the few African regions that eluded the talons of European imperial colonialism.
