Zagwe Dynasty
Aksumite Dynasty
Solomonic Dynasty
Derg Dynasty
Answer
The answer is the Solomonic Dynasty, which ruled Ethiopia for centuries and claimed descent from the biblical King Solomon and Queen of Sheba. Tewodros II, who reigned from 1855 to 1868, sought to restore the dynasty's power and prestige after a period of political instability and decentralization. He embarked on a campaign to reunite the country, modernize its military, and reassert its sovereignty against foreign influence.
