In briefanswer capsule

Dagorlad, the Battle Plain, stretches before Mordor’s gate. Gil-galad’s and Elendil’s host of Elves and Men left Imladris, passed the Misty Mountains and Anduin, and met Sauron’s forces there. Living kinds filled both hosts, yet the Elves alone stayed united behind Gil-galad. Dwarves took little part on either side, though Durin’s kin out of Moria came against Sauron. Victory went to Gil-galad and Elendil; they pressed into Mordor and ringed his fortress for seven years.
