THE YEAR
Many things happened in the year 2980 TA. But there are three main events which affected the War of the Ring.
1.
Gollum finally made his way to Mordor and became acquainted
with Shelob. This is of course pivotal, because it was this acquaintance that ultimately
got Frodo and Sam into Mordor, against Gollum’s wishes of course.
2.
A small, but important event: Theoden became king of Rohan.

And of course, one of the most important events ever, the
birth of Samwise Gamgee. As everyone knows, Frodo would have died
before he even reached the Dead Marshes if it hadn't been for Sam. And of course, if Frodo had died and Gollum had taken the Ring, where would the rest
of Middle Earth be? Without Sam, all of the free folk would have become dead or
slaves of Sauron. Three cheers for Samwise!!
Also, in the year 2980 TA was Aragorn’s second meeting with Arwen Undómiel in Lórien. It was on the hill of Cerin Amroth that Aragorn gave Arwen the ring of Barahir and they “plighted their troth” as it were. This is interesting, because in the movie, a big deal is made about Aragorn and the ring of Barahir, when Worm-tongue sees it. But Aragorn wouldn't have had the ring then, because he had given it to Arwen Undómiel long ago.
