The Visit of Rās Tafari in Europe (1924) : between Hopes of Independence and Colonial Realities In 1924, the young regent of Ethiopia, Rās Tafari, made his first official visit to several European countries, two decades after his own father, Rās Makwannen. During the several weeks he stayed in Paris, he discovered “ European civilization” and became a living specimen from an exotic independent country. Ostensibly, the main purpose of his visit was to thank the French government for its support of Ethiopia’s adhesion to the League of Nations. But the Ethiopian leader also had another ambition, to negotiate an access to the sea for his landlocked country, which had been surrounded by three colonial powers since the era of Menelik II. Considering the advantages of using the existing Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway and the port of Djibouti, Rās Tafari first began negotiations with the French government, hoping for a prompt agreement. From the day he arrived in Marseilles, on May 14th 1924, with his many followers, including Rās Hāylu and Rās Seyum, until the last day he spent in Europe, on August 13th 1924, he never stopped thinking about this issue. As France was at the time going through an internal political crisis, which complicated negotiations, he also made visits to the governments of Italy and of the United Kingdom, where he tried to obtain possible sea access via Eritrea or Zeila. But, each time, the political context (Matteotti’s murder in Italy) or the international agenda (the international conference of London) seemed to overshadow the Ethiopian request. However, diplomatic documents reveal the real reason for the refusals to be linked to colonial issues, even in France where the left had recently been elected. In France, the supporters of the French colonial lobby held key political positions and they exercised their influence in order to prevent an agreement from being reached. Returning to Ethiopia in the early days of September, Rās Tafari, now well-known in Western Europe, had to assume what, in the eyes of the empress and his entourage, appeared to be a failure.
