Actually, militarily, the forces of the Elves and the Edain would have defeated Morgoth, and broken into Angband itself. As it is, they were practically upon the very threshold of Thangorodrim themselves. But when Uldor the Accursed and his brothers attacked the Elves from the side, they couldn't hold them off, because the Easterlings attacked from the side, bringing in more reinforcements for themselves. If it hadn't been for that, then the Elves would have surely won.
