In 1855, Theodore II took complete control over Ethiopia and was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia (Negus negusti, literally "King of Kings"). His successors ruled the country with that title until the military coup in 1974 with the exception of the years 1936-1941, when the country was under Italian occupation and Victor Emmanuel III claimed the title, a claim not entirely undisputed in the international community.
