Most books or stories of this magnitude often derive their roots from world experiences. It is almost always good against evil; that good suffers much challenges before overcoming evil, and suffers much loss before vanquishing evil. Lord of the Rings is no different in that manner. Could we say that Lord of the rings has inspired the wars fought after the book became famous? Whatever it is one thing is for certain - the world has still much to learn, as we do find alliances of good and of the "evil" still prevalent in our society. To answer your question would be difficult, for God alone knows what inspired JRRT. But he did create a struggle for domination of mankind - all wars aim that.

Lord of the Rings was believed to have been influenced by World War I because it was while fighting in the trenches that Tolkien saw, and began recording, some of the most horrific scenes and sounds of war which later could be seen in the novel. Tolkien himself did not see Lord of the Rings as an allegory for either of the World Wars. As an author, however, he was sure to be influenced by what he experienced personally.
It could be said that much of Tolkien's inspiration for Lord of the Rings came from a variety of influences, among them:
- George MacDonald, a 19th century novelist of the Romantic era and George Du Maurier, also a 19th century novelist, but one who departed from the traditional structure of the Romantic era
- HG Wells and his time-travel fantasy genre
- the effects of the industrial revolution, its lasting effects by way of industrialisation and pollution on the 'civilised' world, and Tolkien's own concern for nature and the environment
- and finally - Tolkien's wish to "uncover what is real in the clearest way possible" (Quote from "Lord of the Rings: True Mythology," an introduction to a series of articles on Tolkien).

∙ 8y agoTolkien wrote that anyone searching for parallels between his fiction and World Wars I and II was mistaken. Still it's likely that his wartime experiences and understanding of courage and cowardice, love and betrayal, friendship and camaraderie certainly influenced his writing in some way.

∙ 14y agoNo, there is no relationship. There are numerous parallels that can be drawn between The Lord of the Rings and World War 1, and even World War 2, but they were not intentional.

What if World War 1 didn't happen?
If world war one had not happened then I don't think that world war two would have happened. Sometimes you have to ask yourself: What did it achieve? If you can't come up with an good answer then there was almost no point in the world war one. If world war one had not happened then there would probably not have been a world war two!

How did the author of 'The Wizard of Oz' attempt to relate his story to the First World War?
The author made no attempt to relate "The Wizard of Oz" to the First World War.Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) published his book in 1900. The book therefore was written after U.S. involvement in the Spanish-American War of 1898, but well before the First World War. World War One did not begin until 1914, and the United States of America was not an immediate participant.
