In briefanswer capsule

After Dagor Aglareb, third of the Wars of Beleriand, the force that had struck Dorthonion was destroyed before Angband. The princes set the Siege of Angband, lasting nearly four hundred Years of the Sun. Morgoth's servants stayed within; Fingolfin held that only betrayal among the Eldar could break the cordon. Angband stayed untaken, the Silmarils unrestored. Hostilities never died out. The Iron Mountains and Thangorodrim kept the stronghold from a complete ring.
