Why would the elves help make the rings for Sauron?

The elves made the rings right? At least all of them other than the One Ring. So why would they make these rings for Sauron? Were they tricked? Why would they infuse them with power? The 9 rings the men got turned them into wraiths right? Why would the elves do that?

Can I get a simple ring history?

A few things:

Sauron came to the Elves under the guise of a being named Annatar. At this time he still had the power to change the way he looked.

They didn't make the rings *for* Sauron. They made them for themselves, with input from Sauron.

As soon as Sauron finished making The One Ring, the Elves became aware of the trap and 'hid' the Three from his Eye. The Seven and the Nine were not so fortunate, and Sauron was able to bring them under his dominion.

So, in conclusion, your question isn't accurate. There's a reason the Dark Lord is known as *Sauron the Deceiver.*
