On this day in 1975: Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I died at age 83, possibly assassinated.

Haile Selassie I, born Tafari Makonnen in 1892, was the last Emperor of Ethiopia, reigning from 1930 to 1974. His life and legacy left an indelible mark on Ethiopian history and global politics, while also inspiring a religious movement that continues to this day.

Ascending to the throne in 1930, Selassie inherited a nation steeped in ancient traditions yet facing the challenges of modernization. He embarked on a series of reforms aimed at centralizing power and modernizing Ethiopia’s infrastructure, education, and legal systems. His efforts to balance tradition with progress earned him both admirers and critics within his country.

Selassie gained international prominence in 1935 when Italy, under Mussolini’s fascist regime, invaded Ethiopia. His impassioned plea for assistance at the League of Nations, though ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the invasion, elevated him to a symbol of resistance against European colonialism in Africa.

After regaining his throne in 1941 with British help, Selassie continued to pursue modernization while also championing Pan-Africanism. He played a crucial role in establishing the Organization of African Unity (now the African Union) in 1963, cementing his status as a key figure in post-colonial African politics.

Selassie’s reign was not without controversy. Critics accused him of maintaining a feudal system that benefited the elite while neglecting the needs of the poor. Growing discontent, exacerbated by famine and economic challenges, eventually led to his overthrow in a military coup in 1974.

Beyond politics, Selassie became the central figure of Rastafarianism, a religious movement that emerged in Jamaica in the 1930s. Rastafarians view Selassie as the messiah and incarnation of God, a belief that persists despite his own adherence to Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity.

Haile Selassie I’s legacy is complex and multifaceted. To some, he represents the dignity and independence of Africa in the face of colonial aggression. To others, he symbolizes the challenges of modernizing a traditional society. His influence on Ethiopian politics, African unity, and global culture continues to be debated and studied long after his death in 1975.

Whether viewed as a reformer, a symbol of resistance, or a divine figure, Haile Selassie I remains a pivotal figure in 20th-century history, embodying the complexities of leadership in a rapidly changing world.
