Without Borromir on the Fellowship would the Fellowship have broken up? If the Fellowship didn't break up would Aragorn gone to Gondor and claim the throne? Without Gandalf fighting in the war would the war be successfull? Would Frodo be able to sneak into mordor with a company of nine companions? Would Gandalf be "promoted" to Gandalf the White? Lots of questions that my or my not need answering. As I have mentioned without Gandalf and Aragorn being in Rohan the story would not have happened the way it did. For one, Aragorn would have never went through the paths of the dead. Gandalf wouldn't have been able to save the corupted Theoden, reuntite the forces of Erkanbrand, or help defend the White City. Whithout the prescence of Aragorn and Gandalf in the war Sauron would have won.
