Explanation:  

The Incas expanded and unified their territory after several conquests. Inca society rigidly organized, from the emperor, royal family, and the peasants. The Inca civilization tried to unify other conquered villages by establishing new rulers who were loyal to Incas and declaring their language Quechua as official. The Incas didn't want the people they conquered to have too much power.

The Aztec civilization tried to unify other conquered towns by conducting alliances or partnership to build their empire. They granted independence to the newly conquered territories. The new territories of the empire expected to pay tribute and taxes to the King. In most of the part, their local leaders were allowed to govern.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
