What did the ONE RING symbolize? If the Orcs were Nazis and Sauron Hitler, then it must have symbolized Nuclear weapons right?

> “I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.”
