His rule is often placed as the beginning of modern Ethiopia and brought an end to the decentralized Zemene Mesafint Era of the Princes. Although Tewodros II's origins were in the Era of the Princes, his ambitions were not those of the regional nobility. He sought to re-establish a cohesive Ethiopian state and to reform its administration and church. Tewodros II's first task after having reunited the other provinces was to bring Shewa under his control. During the Era of the Princes, Shewa was, even more than most provinces, an independent entity, its ruler even styling himself Negus , the title for King.
In the course of subduing the Shewans, Tewodros took with him a Shewan prince, Sahle Maryam, who he brought up as his own son, who would later become Emperor or Atse himself as Menelik II. Despite his success against Shewa, Tewodros faced constant rebellions by nobles in other regions resisting modernization. In the first six years of his reign, the new ruler managed to put down these rebellions, and the empire was relatively peaceful from about to , but the energy, wealth, and manpower necessary to deal with regional opposition limited the scope of Tewodros's other activities.

He also established a professional standing army , rather than depending on local lords to provide soldiers for his expeditions.
He introduced the collection of books in the form of a library, tax codes, as well as a centralized political system with respective administrative districts. Tewodros confiscation of these lands gained him enemies in the church and little support elsewhere. Essentially, Tewodros was a talented military campaigner.
