Which two countries did not emerge as major political powers in the 1700s ad 1800s?

During the 1700s and 1800s, countries like China and Ethiopia did not emerge as major political powers in the same way as European nations or the United States. While China maintained a vast empire, it faced internal strife and external pressures that limited its global influence. Ethiopia, although notable for its successful resistance against colonialism, remained relatively isolated and less integrated into the global political dynamics of the time.
