During World War I, Ethiopia briefly formed an alliance with the Allied Powers (Britain, France and Italy) after Italy entered the war in 1915. There was a dynastic battle within Ethiopia after the uncrowned Emperor, Lij Iyasu, allegedly converted to Islam at the behest of the Ottoman Empire in June 1916 and the British and French legates in Addis Ababa concerned a venture. This led to a coup d'état by regent Ras Tafari Mekonnen, later Emperor Haile Selassie, in September, and installed Empress Zewditu, who maintained neutrality throughout the war.

  • During World War I, Ethiopia briefly formed an alliance with the Allied Powers (Britain, France and Italy) after Italy entered the war in 1915. There was a dynastic battle within Ethiopia after the uncrowned Emperor, Lij Iyasu, allegedly converted to Islam at the behest of the Ottoman Empire in June 1916 and the British and French legates in Addis Ababa concerned a venture. This led to a coup d'état by regent Ras Tafari Mekonnen, later Emperor Haile Selassie, in September, and installed Empress Zewditu, who maintained neutrality throughout the war. In May 1918, the Allies praised the Ethiopian diplomatic missions to Rome, Paris and London. France supported Ethiopia's sovereignty and admission to League of Nations, despite Britain and Italy being bluntly opposed to it. In 1923, Ethiopia joined the League of Nations and presided over strong diplomatic missions to ensure its sovereignty. (en)
