Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Around A.D. 300, the Moche civilization developed far inland, near the Ecuadorian border. The major urban center of Moche appeared in the valley of the Moche River, which flows to the Pacific Ocean. In the 1440s, the Inca brought the entire Pacific coastal region under their control.

Detailed explanation-2: -At this point, the southern coast of Peru still had not been incorporated into the Inca state. The area, however, was now surrounded by the Inca on three sides, and in about 1476 Topa Inca Yupanqui launched a campaign against this region. Each valley, beginning with those in the south, was attacked separately.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire, was founded by the Aztec or Mexica people around 1325 C.E. According to legend, the Mexica founded Tenochtitlan after leaving their homeland of Aztlan at the direction of their god, Huitzilopochtli.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Aztec Empire was a confederation of three city-states established in 1427: Tenochtitlan, city-state of the Mexica or Tenochca; Texcoco; and Tlacopan, previously part of the Tepanec empire, whose dominant power was Azcapotzalco.
