Social, economic and political aspects of one early Ethiopian Empire (before 1850)

Paper details:

(You can do the Ethiopian Empire or Axum Empire, the course is about the history of Africa before 1850, so all the sources have to be before 1850.)

Structure: the essay must have an introduction, supporting body paragraphs and a conclusion.

Citations: references must be cited properly following Chicago Manual of Style and include a proper bibliography. You may use either footnotes or endnotes (though you will find footnotes much easier)

Sources: you must integrate a minimum of five outside (not included in course materials, but of your own research) sources and eight sources overall. I suggest you begin your research proposal by drawing from course materials and then slowly working toward integrating outside sources. If you encounter difficulty finding outside sources, consult the Instructor for suggestions.
