Tolkien’s 10 Biggest Battles That Happened Before Lord Of The Rings

The world of The Lord of the Rings is known for its epic battles, but the most significant of these happened long before Frodo inherited the One Ring. Tolkien’s lore goes back thousands of years, and the conflicts between the forces of good and evil make up the bulk of the author’s works. Of course, impactful scenes from the Third Age, such as The Battle of the Pelennor Fields and the Battle of Helm’s Deep are what usually come to mind thanks to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies. However, these conflicts were relatively small compared to the scale of earlier Middle-earth battles.
