The Silmarillion relates that but for the treachery of man, the elves might have won the Nirnaeth Arnoediad (Battle of Unnumbered Tears). OK. So what if they won the battle (keeping in mind that a battle is not a war)? What would have happened? The West would still be fenced against them. Besides, what could they do with, or to, Morgoth?
