Remaining Events Prior to the Battle of Five Armies

Remaining Events Prior to the Battle of Five Armies. (2770-2940)
"Troubles continued after the Days of Dearth: Orcs in Rohan, 2800-2864; Harad against Condor, 2885; Uruks in Ithilien, 2901; the Fell Winter, 2911. These were scattered and of limited importance. Far more notable were the activities of the Dwarves — not only as the prelude to The Hobbit but also as a part of the greater history. The defeat of the Orcs at Moria in 2799 and later at Lonely Mountain in 2941 helped reduce the northern Orc troops available in the War of the Rings. The slaying of Smaug eliminated a creature that could have been used by Sauron with devastating effect."
