Usually, by conflict - one King went out and bashed up his neighbours until his country was big enough to call itself an Empire. Sometimes, a marriage of royals and nobles from different countries could create an empire, if the couple inherited the thrones of both countries. (e.g. french Princess marries English Prince - Prince could become King of France and England). Rarely, a leader dying with no heir would leave his country to a foreign king. The latter two did not always create an Empire.
