[Son of Fire]

I was drawing parallels and not in the whole trilogy, but in the Two Towers. This book seems to represent that. A little know fact (at least here) is that Russia was on the axis side and switched to the allied side. Anyway, Japan does seem better. But Rohan could have been parallel to Rohan because they were attaced first and received little aid, thinking Germany their friend until the attack. Also, Mordor represents as a whole the industrial revolution in Tolkien's words, but Mordor does not do much in this book in the way of battle. Anyway, i think that the Ents were definitely similar to the USA because we were originally Isolationist and then (after we were encroached upon) became severely ****ed off and shied away from our unhastiness if you will, and attacked. These parallels are loose, I admit, but I meant only in Two Towers, not beyond. Also, Gondor was the powerhouse and they were drawm back and weakened until Rohan aided them, so I see the Rohan=USA as well. Anyway, this is juse my musings and thoughts, so no need to get offensive yall.
