The beginning of the nineteenth century found Ethiopia in the state of political fragmentation. The Emperors exercised no authority during the period known as “Era of the Judges “ (1765-1850). What linked the north with the south was the long distance trade routes.1 These were the circumstances when Ethiopia’s second contact with Europe began. The period was marked by the presence of foreign missionaries, businessmen and official envoys. Both political fragmentation and European presence formed the setting for the events to come. The emperors responded to the two challenges in a number of ways. However, it is generally agreed that centralisation and unification became the dominant themes of this period.
