The Free Peoples of the World[1] were those people that opposed Sauron. It is unclear to when this term dates back; whether it also applies to those that opposed his reign in the Second Age, or only those of the Third Age.
History
The members of the Fellowship of the Ring were specifically chosen so that at least one representative of all the free peoples would be there: one for the Elves, one for the Dwarves and two for Men.[1] As they had appeared relatively late in the knowledge of most, Hobbits were generally not reckoned among them until the War of the Ring.[2]
