Answer:

Menelik II differed from other 19th-century African leaders as he kept the independence of his kingdom intact.

Explanation:

  • Menelik II is considered to be one of the greatest kings of Ethiopia. His expansion campaigns and his defense strategies are praised and remembered until today because the present-day borders of Ethiopia are only up to where King Menelik II expanded them to.
  • During his reign, he had to fight the Italian army. He did it and he succeeded in driving back the possible Italian invasion of Ethiopia.
