Third Age

The Third Age was the Age of Arda that lasted for 3021 years, from the first defeat of Sauron by the forces of the Last Alliance and the deaths of Elendil and Gil-galad, to the departure of Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond, Bilbo, and Frodo to the Undying Lands after Sauron's final downfall during the Great War of the Ring.
The Age was one of transition, as the time of the Elves gave way to the rule of Men. The first millennium was mostly peaceful, marked by the growing power of Gondor and peace and prosperity for the lands of the West. However with the return of the shadow, evil began to grow once more, leading to war and other calamities.
