In early 1868, the British force seeking King Tewodros surrender came to an agreement in which Kassa Mercha of Tigray would let the British pass through Tigray in exchange for money and weapons. When the British were leaving Ethiopia they rewarded Kassa for his cooperation with artillery, muskets, rifles, and munitions, all worth approximately £500,000. Six months later on 21 January 1872, Kassa of Tigray became the new emperor of Ethiopia, under the name Yohannes IV. Richard Punkhurts
