At the beginning of WW1, Italy had annexed Eritrea, Somalia and Lybia and some greek islands of the Dodecanesus, setting the basis for the Italian Colonial Empire.
In 1935-36 the italian troops invaded Ethiopia and deposed Emperor Haile Selassie.
Vittorio-Emanuele III was crowned Emperor, which made Q.Elena the last continental Emperess iirc.
