Tewodros II's administrative policies had a negative impact on his rule and his attempt to create a centrally administered empire. Tewodros II, who was the Emperor of Ethiopia from 1855 to 1868, aimed to centralize power and modernize his country. However, his policies often created resentment and opposition among local leaders. By forcefully unifying territories under his direct control, Tewodros alienated powerful regional rulers who, accustomed to autonomy, rebelled against his authority. Furthermore, the increased taxation and conscription in the name of centralization fueled discontent among the population, further destabilizing his rule. Despite his noble intentions, Tewodros' administrative policies ultimately backfired, making it challenging for him to establish a successful centrally administered empire.
