The Italo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1928,[1] also known as the Italo–Ethiopian Treaty of Friendship and Arbitration,[2] was a treaty signed between the Kingdom of Italy and the Ethiopian Empire on 2 August 1928. Nigiste Negest[nb 1] Zewditu I ruled Ethiopia at the time of this treaty, but it was the 36-year-old Ras[nb 2] Tafari Makonnen who represented the government of Ethiopia. Tafari, who was still in his minority, was heir apparent and Regent Plenipotentiary.
Within two months, on 7 October 1928, Ras Tafari would be proclaimed Negus.[nb 3] A little over two years later, on 2 November 1930, Zewditu had died and Tafari was proclaimed Nəgusä Nägäst[nb 4] Haile Selassie I.
