War of the Dwarves and Orcs Êxplained | The Lord of the Rings | Middle Earth

The brutal wars between the dwarves and orcs were some of the most destructive and relentless conflicts in Middle Earth’s history. What began as bitter rivalry turned into a blood feud, driven by ancient grudges and deep-seated hatred. These battles reached their peak in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, a six-year struggle that culminated in the fierce Battle of Azanulbizar outside the gates of Moria. Why they hated each other so much and what was the reason for this war that ended fatally for both sides?
