Haile Selassi I was emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974.

Three main areas of his legacy are these:

1. He worked to bring Ethiopia into modern international politics by initiating efforts to join and participate in the United Nations and the League of Nations.

2. Rastafarians in Jamaica believed he was the messiah and wanted to move to Ethiopia.

3. He fought to retain the absulutist form of government in Ethiopia which is a negative mark on his legacy.
