Qin Shi Huangdi, united China with violence, crowned himself Emperor
Charlemagne, expanded so his realm so greatly (with war) that the Pope in Rome feared for his life, and crowned him the new Emperor of "Rome" in an attempt to make Charles like him more.
Augustus, inherited the entire Roman state from his adoptive father, Julius Ceasar, who had taken the positions of Dictator and Consul using brute force.
Napoleon, kinda like Ceasar, first served in the army, rose through the ranks. Somehow (this isn't my strong side of history) became leader of the Republic, then, proclaimed himself Emperor, the army was loyal to him, not France, not the revolution, so nobody could do anything about it.
It's all about war, of course, it could also be so that some dude 1000 years ago created the Empire and because of luck and intermarriage, you now rule. This is when empires tend to fall.
In ancient China, if you didn't rule all of china you just were a King.
It is a title, to be anything, get as many people as possible to support your claim to the title, then you are an emperor.
If you define empire, its when a lot of states/countries are ruled by a central authority, and the ruler of an empire is an emperor.
There were no rules. The first Emperor (Augustus) ruled because he was the victor of the Roman civil war. But he always pretended to be just a servant of the Roman Senate and the Roman Republic, usually serving under the title of Consul. "Imperator" in his day did not mean "Emperor"; it meant just 'commander of the armed forces', which he was.
His first ten or so successors - also members of Augustus' family - likewise pretended to be just functionaries of the Republic. They got their titles and functions because the Roman Senate voted those titles on them.
Only after them, the Roman Emperors did away with the pretense that they were just Republican functionaries. By then it had become customary for emperors to be considered 'gods' after their death and later even, during their lifetime.
The Emperors from the beginning were absolute rulers which means that there simply were no bounds or rules that limited their power. There were also no rules as to how you could become an Emperor. Many Emperors were however army generals who marched their troops to Rome to stake their claim to power as soon as the existing Emperor had died.
Most Emperors by the way did not die in their beds or retired peacefully. Almost all were murdered in the end, usually by the people around them.
