The Battle at the River Sirion was a battle of the War of Wrath that lasted for 40 years. Both the forces of Morgoth and the Host of Valinor struggled to take the river. Great losses were on both sides, but in the end the Host of Valinor won the battle and managed to conquer the region. The armies of the west then began to push towards Angband.
