How Aegon & Rhaenyra Tore Westeros Apart

After Aegon Targaryen's conquest, there was over a century of peace in Westeros in which nothing at all went wrong. But now, Viserys Targaryen has created a succession crisis between his children, Rhaenyra and Aegon II. This video explains Aegon's & Rhaenyra's reigns during the Dance of the Dragons, the conflict currently being adapted into House of the Dragon. Is this the most disastrous period in Game of Thrones history? If you're a Targaryen, then yes. If you're a peasant in the Riverlands, also yes.
