>>16749410>>16749412>>16749419>>16749431Tolkien was a master of European history.
Mordor represented Constantinople. A once great and beautiful, noble region. Notice how the new (shitty) show Rings of Power, had that one city in old Mordor with heavy Greek influence, that scene with the "DEY TOOK ER JOBS" scene, forgot the name, that show was forgettable and boring.
After Sauron and the Orcs(Ottomans) turned Mordor into a wasteland, Minias Tirith represented Austria or someplace close to that. The defense of Minas Tirith was a representation of the defeat of the Ottomans at Vienna.
Daily Reminder Tolkien wanted the total genocide of Turks. And wrote that as fan-fiction in the end with the total destruction of Mordor.
