In the minds of many, Ethiopia is restricted to the images of the devastating famine of the 1980’s, marathon athletes, and the last monarch – Emperor Haile Sellassie (also know as Ras Tafari). However, behind these images lies a long, rich and utterly complicated history that dates back to biblical times. Ethiopia is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. We have set out in this section to provide a brief history of the evolution of modern Ethiopia. In the near future, this section will be expanded to include biographies of important figures in Ethiopian history, focused sections such as ‘Women in History’, and provide more in-depth detail on important eras summarized in the overview below.
