Haile Selassie

Haile Selassie I, original name Tafari Makonnen, (born July 23, 1892, near Harer, Ethiopia – died August 27, 1975, Addis Ababa), emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974 who sought to modernize his country and who steered it into the mainstream of post-World War II African politics. He brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations and the United Nations and made Addis Ababa the major center for the Organization of African (now African Union).

Tafari was a great-grandson of Sahle Selassie of Shewa (Shoa) and a son of Ras (Prince) Makonnen, a chief advisor to Emperor Menilek II. Educated at home by French Missionaries, Tafari at an early age favorably impressed the emperor with his intellectual abilities and was promoted accordingly. In 1911 he married Wayzaro Menen, a great-granddaughter of Menilek II.
