Ethiopia Rises - a Meiji Ethiopia TL

[CountDVB]

Yes, this is true. Although it would be interesting if the Ethiopians aligned themselves with the Nazis.

You think the Bolsheviks won't successfully seize power?

Interesting and plausible are two vastly different things. It’d be more likely the US turning to socialism than having Ethiopia join up with Nazi Germany.

And no. The Bolsheviks only did so because the Provisional Government refused to exit the war despite people insisting on it.

Here, Russia is doing a lot better in the war so there won’t be as much complaint to do so and claiming Constantinople would just further keep the people happy.

We might get a February Revolution after the war given how it was a bloodless coup though, but Lenin is very likely to fail in his endeavors. He’s much too radical to be elected

I find this timeline... makes me inspired to write an Orabi anarchist victory timeline.

I like this timeline, I don't think seen any Ethiopian timeline great as this.

I plan on writing even more in the future!

What is the relations between Ethiopia and Empire of Japan?

Currently, they're quite warm and I think you'll like what I have planned for Japanese-Ethiopian relations.

How did the Muslims and Coptics fare under the empire, as well as the non-Ethiopian?

Oriental Orthodoxy/Coptic Christianity dominates the Empire but policies discriminating against other religions (mainly Islam) have been relaxed - as for non-Ethiopians, life is decent.

Just to make it cute, what do you think of Ethiopia gifting Imperial Japan Abyssinian cats?...

EDIT: Especially to the Imperial Family.

Hirohito might appreciate having a cat to pet due to all the stress, his ministers are gonna put him through once he becomes emperor.

About Hitler and Ethiopia, on one hand Hitler will blame them for being jewish puppets and for helping end the war in such a bad place for germany, on the other Hitler knows that he needs to kiss Salessie’s ass and not send all the Jews he could find into concentration camps as it would give Salessie Casus Belli to side with the allies(despite hating communists), but he’ll be pissed off when he finds out Salessie immigrated them all to Palestine/Israel instead of killing them

Considering what I have planned for Imperial Japan, Hirohito's gonna need a lot more cats.

What do you think Hitler's policy towards Ethiopia will be like other than what you mentioned?

Considering that Salessie could trace his family bloodline all the way to King Solomon and the queen of Sheba, he is literally the descendant of the Jewish peoples greatest kings

This has been great material for wartime propaganda for the Entente, especially in recruiting Jewish soldiers.

You can almost hear Hitler screaming in the distance while Haile Selassie simply flips him off.

Gives me a thought:
What if in this TL an alternate Israel is established by the Ethiopian Empire (assuming the Zionist Movement still exists in this TL) and it becomes a constitutional monarchy where the king is the Ethiopian Emperor like the British Commonwealth nations in OTL.

Heres the ultimate game changer in this timeline: 1933 a certain jewish man decided that instead of visiting America he decided to go visit Jerusalem, while he was there a certain man with a funny moustache rose to power, sensing that he wouldn’t be welcome anymore decided to stay in Palestine for his own safety...... this Jewish man’s name........ Albert Einstein

Why do y'all keep guessing what I have in store for this TL?

True.

Although, do you think there'll be a Russian Civil War?

You just ask a lot about how the tl direction and we just run with it

 

[CountDVB]

True.

Nope. Civil War was caused by October Revolution. Febuary Revolution was a bloodless coup and people will elect their leaders and Russia should smooth itself out.

Russia may survive as a constitutional
Monarchy, but democratic Federation is more likely
