According to the votes, the Meiji Ethiopia or Japanese-style Ethiopian modernization was the most popular TL choice but I'm not sure which one to chose. Please vote so that I may begin writing.

Let me elaborate on the PODs - Emperor Tewodros II orders his forces to hold his position at Arogye plateau, forcing General Napier's Anglo-Indian forces into a stalemate that ends in an unequal treaty that starts Ethiopian modernization earlier. The other was having Menelik II accept Alitash Tewodros' hand in marriage and becomes heir to the throne while Tewodros establishes an alliance with him and Yohannes IV to modernize Ethiopia.
