In the ninth and early tenth centuries, after the collapse of Teotihuacan, the central valley of Mexico was divided between many powers. It was only the emergence of Toltecs and Mexica that delivered unification in the area again. The Toltecs started migrating in Mexico at around eight century. They came from an arid land and settled in a new area called Tula. Tula is an important place for the Toltec’s development of their weaving poetry, and obsidian work.

It conquered nearby cities including those in the gulf coast. The group then formed an alliance with Texcoco and Tlacopan creating a powerful empire called Aztec empire.

Through woodlands and mound of earth they created infrastructures meant for dwelling and burial. The trade system in the region is also well-developed through rivers. Through these rivers, they also developed communication between nearby areas.
There are also empires in South America that developed their own social system. After the twelfth century, the “kingdom of Chucuito dominated the highlands region around Lake Titicaca. The group depended on the cultivation of potatoes and herding of llamas and alpacas. Another group is the Kingdom of Chimu which is a powerful society. Both the Chucuito and Chimu ruled Andean South America. Yet, the two kingdoms eventually fall under the domination of the societies of Incas.
