Question

Source: Menelik II, emperor of Ethiopia, letter to Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia, 1891.
I have no intention at all of being an indifferent spectator, if the distant Powers hold onto the idea of dividing up
Africa. For the past fourteen centuries Ethiopia has been an island of Christians in a sea of Pagans.
Since the All-Powerful has protected Ethiopia up until now, I am hopeful that He will keep and enlarge it also in the
future, and I do not think for a moment that He will divide Ethiopia among the distant Powers. In the past, the boundary
of Ethiopia was the sea. Without our use of force and without the aid of the Christians, our boundary on the sea fell into
the hands of the Muslims. Today we do not pretend to be able to recover our seacoast by force; but we hope that the
Christian Powers, advised by our Savior, Jesus Christ, will restore our seacoast boundary to us, or give us at least a few
ports along the coast.
MAIN IDEA QUESTION 3: Where does the Emperor of Ethiopia give credit for the fact that Ethiopia has remained independent?
Why does he think that might lead to Ethiopia regaining ports on the sea?​
