there were 5 battles in the war of the Ring. Melkor lost the first 3, and came back to win the end two, which proved decisive. he clearly didnt wipe out the Noldor through lack of trying, and indeed, he may not of won the last battle, if it hadnt of been for the men losing heart and betraying. no, i think Melkor was unable to overthrow the Noldor completely because he did not have the power to do so
