If you pass the 1970 to at least 1990 this was where around the time where the Civil rights movement was ongoing in America and Apartheid was ongoing in South Africa with a powerful African nation to look up to for example and you can even show the effects to Gandhi and his attempts to free India from Britain with Haile Salessie lending passive support
If you give me a description of the current map (even a list of who controls what will do) I'll be happy to make a Worlda for you.
Considering what Haile Selassie and his government are planning for post-war Africa, this will have quite the effect on what you just mentioned happened IOTL.

About the civil rights movement itself, countries like america were huge gas guzzlers and bought crude oil by the fleet load at a time, they would need to kiss Haile Salessie’s ass to get a discount as his empire actually has proxy control over many of the middle eastern oilfields, if they put pressure on the American government for equal rights and desegregation it might just work.
Also had the Americans join world war 1 yet? If they hadn’t thats one opposition to Japan’s equal rights clause that has Zero say in the treaty of Versailles, if the manage to defeat the central powers before America joins in.
The Civil Rights movement could occur earlier, depending on how much support Ethiopia is willing to lend to American Blacks.
You'll see in the next chapter! ;D

If America completely misses the war none of the winners are gonna listen to their opinions and Ethiopia is gonna have a big place in deciding how the treaty will be written up.
If the US tries to muscle in, the rest of the countries will tell them to piss off, the only reason they would even be relevant is all the debts the European powers have to America and I don’t think the Ethiopians even got a loan at all as they used their own money to fund their war
Think about that - Ethiopia replacing the US as the rising Great Power at an alt-Paris Peace Conference!

The Ku klux Klan and Segregationists are gonna be really salty in this timeline with America becoming a pariah state.......

Imagine the establishment of an Oriental Orthodox Church in the US where Egyptian and Ethiopian priests make up the main bulk of the Clergy which is attacked by the KKK.

The russians and greeks already living in America might side with them instead of them standing alone this time.
thats a plan, America pissed off that they lost their standing in the world because they didn’t join in fast enough(and being view as cowards) joins the Axis powers from sheer bitterness
