Tolkien lived through the height of the British Empire right through to its fall. I was just thinking that do you think, or is there any evidence in any of his letters that this may have influenced his idea of Numenor, a mighty empire that had fallen by the time of LotR.
I have searched the forums for any past posts but they all seem to concern WW2 or Gandalf as Jesus. But if any of you have any info on this topic i would be most grateful
