The Targaryen Civil War

The Targaryen Civil War, called the Dance of the Dragons, was a fierce internal conflict in the fictional world of Westeros. It occurred around 200 years before the main story and was fought between rival factions of the Targaryen family over who should rule the Seven Kingdoms. The war was marked by political intrigue, betrayal, and dragon battles, ultimately leading to significant Targaryen decline. It was a struggle for the throne, causing widespread destruction and weakening House Targaryen's dominance, setting the stage for future instability in the kingdom.
