There were originally 20 rings made for great kings of men who turned into 20 Nazgul, eleven of whom either drowned, got too drunk to move, or got lost along the way to find the Halflings. That's why there were only Nine in LOTR (see "Dude, Where's My Ring" for the full story. Its in the fanfiction section. HILARIOUS.) Then Sauron melted the rings of the eleven unfortunate Nazgul and made his own jewelry business, with the One Ring as a display item. (I made that last part up. Kinda lame. I know.)

Why did Sauron decide to wage war against the free peoples of Middle-earth?
