The Easterling Wars, also called the Wainrider/Balchoth War was an open conflict between Gondor and invading Easterlings that lasted for 660 years in the mid-late Third Age.
The wars consisted of several engagements, notably the Battle of the Plains, the Second Battle of Dagorlad, the Disaster of the Morannon, the Battle of the Camp and the Battle of the Field of Celebrant.
Through great cost, Gondor was at last successful in beating back the Easterlings for good through the cooperation of Steward Cirion and Eorl the Young of Calenardhon. As a reward for his deeds, Eorl was granted the land of Calenardhon, giving rise to the nation of Rohan.
