Hobbit and World War I
c) The causes of World War I were the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the rise of nationalism, the build-up of military might, competition for colonies, and a system of military alliances. The Battle of the Five Armies was caused by the goblins and wolves coming to settle their defeat by the dwarves and a want for gold for the dwarves, Lakemen, and elves. Both are about competition and alliances. The imaginary war ended up better because the Lakemen, elves, and dwarves all made friends and shared the gold, while the goblins and wolves were taken care of and didn't give trouble for awhile.
