Michael Wilhelmson has just left Hobbiton.
Question Sorry...Have to ask about historical analogy...

I know Tolkien hated the perception of historical analogy in LOTR, correcting anyone who tried to make connections between the history of Middle-Earth and of this Earth...but I have to ask if anyone else sees some racial, cultural, and historical parallels between the fictional world and this one?

I have my own theories, but I'd like to see some others first. Just ignore Tolkien's advice, and go crazy.
