conquerors
Those who subjugate
Conquerors are those who defeat and take control through force—of territories, peoples, or rivals.
The word carries historical weight: Spanish conquerors brought disease to the New World.
It extends to anyone who overcomes great obstacles: conquerors of Everest, conquerors of their own fears.
William the Conqueror established the template.
