I want to know the answer to the following question:
When was the birth of the Italian Empire declared?
All the background I'm provided with is that "After il Duce declared the birth of the Italian Empire in May 1936, Italian Eritrea (enlarged with northern Ethiopia's regions) and Italian Somaliland were merged with the just conquered Ethiopia in the new Italian East Africa (Africa Orientale Italiana) administrative territory.". Is that enough to answer the question?
