"Colonisers" is a term that refers to individuals or groups that establish and maintain colonies in foreign territories. Synonyms for this term include "conquerors," "settlers," "pioneers," "immigrants," "occupiers," and "expatriates." These descriptive words connote the act of inhabiting or claiming land that is not originally one's own. Other words such as "dominators," "invaders," and "exploiters" often carry negative connotations, suggesting that colonisers may have subjugated or oppressed native populations in order to maintain control over resources or establish political power. While these words may have slightly different nuances, their common thread is the idea of taking over foreign land and exerting influence over it.
