You could view the elves as British soldiers, all organized, shooting together, fighting in rank, etc.
Dwarves could be French soldiers, although not the most organized, still pretty good.
In history, who wins all the wars?
When British fight the French, one or the other wins.
In the one-hundred year war, the British were winning untill all the revival came to France.
In the French and Indian war, the French pretty much get pwned.
In the Revolutionary War of America, the French do win, although it is unclear whether it is thanks to them.
So, let's look at when they fight against a common enemy.
Nazi Germany takes over all of France during WWII in a matter of eight weeks. Meanwhile, the British successfully defend the channel.
I'll let you decide whether British or the French are better, and so for elves and dwarves.
Uh... I could understand if you were comparing the Dwarves' and Elves' fighting tactics to the French and British, but you're completing substituting them for each other and using history to decide who's better in a fictional world... so no... just no...
[quote user_id="10102909" avatar="https://cravatar.eu/helmavatar/Danilem/74.png" name="Danilem"]depends, dwarves are amazing in forging weapons and other treasure, etc.
Elves are way more intelligent than dwarves and also elves are better with bow and they are good at fighting on horses. Elves are good in magic stuff, they are way more sexy than dwarves, also the elves were pro enough to be able to keep their 3 rings while all dwarves who got a ring were eaten by some swag dragon. Also elves have anti-gravity skills as you can see in battle of the 5 armies when Legolas fights Bolg. Also the elves were good enough to ask Morgoth to 1v1' em.

Elves are definitely better[/quote]
I'm very confused because of this false information... Elves may be pretty good with magic and stuff, but who forged Narsil, the sword that can fight freaking ghosts for Pete's sake? Dwarves. Who made the Dragon-Helm of the House of Hador (forgive me if that's the wrong name, I'm tired haha)? Dwarves. Thorin and company also protected their chest of gold in the treasure hoard with enchantments. Who's got magic now?
Second, about Elves being sexier, Kili. Case closed.
Third, you said that the Elves kept their rings and the Dwarves lost theirs to dragons... How many of those Elves beat dragons to protect their ring? None. Aka they didn't prove that they could hold on to them.
Fourth, TBOFA has nothing to do with this, the movie is pretty screwed up. I mean Earth-Eaters? Peter Jackson made a few mistakes xD
Fifth, when exactly did the Dwarves have the opportunity to challenge Morgoth...plus he was the Elves' problem haha
