Therefore, he founded the first modern bank known as the Bank of Abyssinia in 1905; the first Modern School, Menilek II in 1908; introduced the first modern postal system, signed the agreement and initiated work that established the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway with the French in 1894, introduced electricity to Addis Ababa, as well as the telephone, telegraph, the motor car, and modern plumbing. He also started to mint a coin to replace the Maria Theresa Thaler. The treaty which delimited the boundaries between Ethiopia and the surrounding colonies was signed. The first boundary that was delimited and concluded on 20 March 1897 was the boundary between Ethiopia and French Somaliland (Djibouti). This was followed by the delimitation with British Somaliland in May 1897, with Italian Eritrea on 10 July 1900, with Anglo-Egyptian Sudan on 15 May 1902, with the British East Africa (Kenya) in 1907, and with Italian Somaliland in 1908. With the signing of these boundary delimitation treaties the process of defining Ethiopia’s modern territorial extent is completed .These agreements concluded over about a decade, were significant for the history of Ethiopia. They gave the country approximately its present shape. However, the delimitation on the map was not followed by demarcation on the ground. In 1897, Kafa was incorporated after the forces of Tato Gaki Sherocho (the last king of Kafa) were defeated by Menilek’s army led by Ras Wolde Giorgis. Similarly, Emperor Menilek extended his authority over Benishangul and Gambella, setting the stage for a formal agreement in I902 on borders with the British as the colonial power in Sudan. The process of territorial expansion was concluded with the signing of boundary agreements with the neighboring colonial powers that continued until 1908.
