	Yohannes IV of Ethiopia Summary
		Yohannes pleaded with the British to stop their Egyptian allies, and even withdrew from his own territory in order to show the Europeans that he was the wronged party and that the Khedive was the aggressor.
		Yohannes agreed to British requests to allow these Egyptian soldiers to evacuate through his lands, with the understanding that the British Empire would then support his claims on important ports like Massawa on the Red Sea to import weapons and ammunition, in the event that Egypt was forced to withdraw from them.
		Yohannes IV's death reduced the influence of Tigrayans to the Ethiopian government, and opened way to Italians to occupy more districts, a seizure that later resulted in the creation of the colony of Eritrea, and the later defeat of Italy at the Battle of Adowa at the hands of Emperor Menelik.

	Welcome to the Network of Ethiopian Muslims in Europe
		The revival and reconstitution of imperial power, and the ascendancy of centralized authority, which was a culmination of long drawn-out struggle between the forces of regionalism and the monarchy, inaugurated a new phase in the relationship between the Christian court and Islam.

		Needless to say the main objective of this chapter is not to dwell on the motives, aims and the degree of success or failure of the policies, not because this aspect is irrelevant to the subject under discussion, but because it is fairly well-known and amply documented.
