Atse Tewodros fought for United Abysinnia Kingdom while Menelik fought for united Ethiopian Empire.
You cannot say One Ethiopia with Emperor Tewodros he was the closest to Amhara Nationalist in 1800s while Meneliks ideology was not popular with in abysinnians. Menelik idea of Ethiopianism is due to his Shewa Oromo Comrades Having a Multi Ethnic Army (Shewa Amharans Shewa Oromos) Menelik fought to bring this type of unity across the highlands and lowlands 2 Combat and fight European Colonialism
Menelik expanded Ethiopia Empire to ensure the Europeans don’t govern many parts of unnoccupied territory
Thus Modern day Ethiopia was formed by a rush of European Colonials surrounding our country unity was needed to make sure we maintain freedom
Medieval Ethiopia was also based in Shewa but there was no central government the farthest Ethiopia stretched was Gamo and Bale during 14th century Addis Ababa was known as Barara and is rightful Ethiopian Amhara territory a land where Abysinnians build fortresses. And finally once menelik made Addis Ababa the capital which is located in southern Abysinnia he had to centralize the position thus conquering The Adalite Galla tribaldom of Arssi and Harar to centralize the seat of power.

Re: Atse Tewodros
Amhara elites exaggerate Tewedro's role. He committed suicide, which means he is weak and has committed a sin according to Christianity. Those who kill themselves instead of protecting others are criminal according to the law and sinner according to The Bible.
