Fingolfin's reign was marked by warfare against Morgoth and in the year 60 of the First Age after their victory in Dagor Aglareb the Noldor started the Siege of Angband, the great fortress of Morgoth.

However, the Siege was of limited effectiveness, because the northern side of Angband was on the north side of the Ered Engrin, and was unapproachable.

The Noldor then encircled the land ( at least in the south ), starting the Siege of Angband.

Following the Dagor Bragollach, after the 400 years of relative peace enjoyed during the Siege of Angband, fighting with Morgoth's forces would never fully cease thereafter, but a semblance of peace returned to Beleriand for a while.

In 455 First Age Glaurung led the attack of fire that defeated the Noldorin Elves and their allies and broke the Siege of Angband in the Battle of Sudden Flame, the Dagor Bragollach.

But the Edain lived there in peace only less than half a century, for in the Battle of Sudden Flame Morgoth broke the Siege of Angband, and many of the Folk of Bëor, including their lord Bregolas, were slain.

The Siege of Angband was already broken at that time, but Túrin's homeland of Dor-lómin was still contested by the Folk of Hador against Morgoth's forces.

After it the Noldor maintained a guard on Angband, beginning the period of watchful peace known as the Siege of Angband.

The Battle of the North March is the culminating battle of a series of attacks in Morgoth's campaign against Doriath following his victories in the Dagor Bragollach, Battle of Sudden Flame, the fourth Great Battle of Beleriand that broke the Siege of Angband.

The initial battle that allowed Morgoth's forces to break free of the Siege of Angband was aptly named Dagor Bragollach, or The Battle of Sudden Flame.

The Peace Party, however, had its own armed forces – scattered bands of household troops ( Hofleute ) under diverse command, which only united in action in 1565 ( Battle of Pärnu, 1565 and Siege of Reval, 1565 ), in 1570 – 1571 ( Siege of Reval, 1570-1571 ; 30 weeks ), and in 1574 – 1576 ( first on Sweden ’ s side, then came the sale of Wiek to the Danish Crown, and the loss of the territory to Tsardom of Russia ).
