Why did Sauron attack in the North as well? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I do think the purpose of the attack on Minas Tirith was to conquer it, although feel free to correct me with evidence from the text.

I think a number of the Downers who have posted on this thread have hit the nail on the head. Sauron was indeed militarily strong enough to launch assaults on several different fronts. He had enough manpower to overwhelm more than a single opponent. Furthermore, as has been stated, he had grown impatient and anxiety for a decisive victory.
