Since 16th century, Roman Catholicism and the Jesuits increasingly influenced on state power. Besides, the [[Oromo migrations]] had vital role in the northern Ethiopia. Among other Jesuit, Spanish Jesuit Pedro Paez had favorable relations to the Emperors of Ethiopia like [[Za Dengel]] and [[Susenyos I]], the latter promulgated that Roman Catholicism state administrative to the Empire in 1622 on behalf of [[Orthodox Tewahedo]] Church, resulted in grave conflict for the years.

The reign of Emperor [[Fasilides]] in 1632 arranged this status by restoring Orthodox Tewahedo state leadership and expelled Jesuits from his land. After founding Gondar in 1636, Ethiopia then prospered again with the beginning of "[[Gondarine period]]" characterized as relatively peaceful governance. However, few [[Franciscan]] and [[Order of Friars Minor Capuchin|Capuchin]] friars said to be lived during the 18th century such as Franciscan Giuseppe Maria di Gerusalemme, Remedius Prutky (who left credible records to the city).

Architecture of this period was slightly influenced by the remnant Jesuits, but also the presence of Arab, Indians (brought by the Jesuits) as well as Turkish in Ottoman occupied [[Habesh Eyalet|northern area]] had involvement. One of the example is   castles in [[Fasil Ghebbi]].

His connection of [[Queen Victoria]] and other European leaders unfavorable when he sent unresponsive letter to the Queen, eventually leading to brief war with the [[British Empire]]. The British sent 13,000 soldiers, 26,000 men for logistical support and 40,000 animals including war elephants from India during their expedition, resulting in Tewodros suicide at [[Battle of Magdala|Magdala]] in 1868. Not only modernized the empire, but he also paved the way of coherence the succession for subsequent emperors.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|title=Ethiopian History Abyssinia {{!}} Learn About The Background|url=https://www.ethiopianadventuretours.com/about-ethiopia/ethiopian-history|access-date=2022-01-01|website=www.ethiopianadventuretours.com}}</ref> Ethiopia was briefly isolated from world power in the post-Zemene Mesafint period; Emperor [[Yohannes IV]] faced Egyptian invasion as they laid linkage of [[Suez Canal]] to Massawa, and opening road between [[Adi Quala|Addi Quala]] and Gundet used to penetrate the [[Ethiopian Empire]]. Yohannes IV on other side was reluctant to improve the road from the Ethiopian Highland to the coast of Red Sea. According to British assistant [[John Kirkham (adventurer)|John Kirkham]], he "preferred to keep his money hoarded up". Likewise, German traveller [[Gerhard Rohlfs]] asserted that he wanted to build churches rather than roads. Road working, on the sides, was completed by Swedish missionaries at [[Monkulu]]. British traveller [[Augustus B. Wylde]] supposed that Abyssinians were "in fear of foreign invasion" where lastly commented "I suppose they are right".<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Pankhurst |first=Richard |author-link=Richard Pankhurst (historian) |date=2004 |title=Economic change in late nineteenth and early twentieth Century Ethiopia: a period of accelerated innovation |url=https://www.persee.fr/doc/ethio_0066-2127_2004_num_20_1_1075 |journal=[[Annales d'Éthiopie]] |volume=20 |issue=1 |pages=195–219 |doi=10.3406/ethio.2004.1075}}</ref>

Wylde noted that the first Ethiopian diaspora took place in mid-1880s, who had been from Massawa to Europe, adapting European trousers. This was strictly outlawed by the Emperor. The empire nonetheless, was surged into modernization by foreign contribution, numerous missionary schools were expanded by Swedish Protestants at Monkulu and the French Lazarist at [[Keren, Eritrea|Keren]], the later described by Wylde "a very useful education" with "very well conducted". Ethiopia had received broad European population in the 19th-century: Jean Baraglion of French origin who had lived for over a decade and according to Wylde, he enjoyed monopoly at [[Adwa]]. Despite rejoice, Baraglion encountered at least two rivals, a Hungarian named André who made an artificial limbs, and a Greek who have lived to [[Shewa]] over several years.<ref name=":1" />
