Unpopular opinion:
I hate when the fandom calls the conquerors "colonizers". I think the term is badly applied on many levels.
First of all, the Targaryens had been living in Westeros for a while before Aegon was born. Their family had established at Dragonstone before the doom, they never showed the intention of expanding their terretory before Aegon and when they finally moved to Westeros permanetly they did because they were running from a catastrophe not to conquer anything.
Second, Westeros was ruled by many warlords, some who were pretty terrible, who were at constant war with each other and most of them had the intention of expanding. In this context, the Targs are just another warlord family that rose above the others. Yes, thanks to dragons, but if any of the other kings of westeros had had that power they would've used it as well.
And Third, the Targaryens didn't force any of their traditions into the Westerosi, on the contrary, they adopted all of their traditions, minus the sibling incest which they kept only for themselves. They didnt force anyone in Westeros to marry their siblings, or worship their gods or anything, which is pretty much what colonialism is.
So yeah, I don't like the term colonizers for the Targs, I think Conquerors is fitting enough
