And it benefitted both parts, the Empire surely would have lost the war, had it continued, so of course they had to give something in return. The banishing of Talos' worship was that something. Even though I very much despise the Thalmor, and most high elves due to their superior view of themselves, I still cannot say that their way is wrong. They are doing what they believe, just as I am when I am slaying ever one of them bastards I encounter.

Could you clearify what you mean with "you want to say only tamriel? fine but not spreading your beliefs onto others."?

This is it for today. Good night! First off the thalmor used fear and bluffing to get titus mede II to sign a peace that did not benefit the empire, it only benefitted the thalmor. There's also no possible reason to suggest the thalmor would have beaten the empire during the great war. Titus agreed to a crappy treaty that other people seem to think it was necessary like Jarl Balgruuf but it's been suggested that the thalmor are not that strong. Hammerfell drove the invasion of the thalmor and prevented them from taking it over which suggest that the titus just submitted defeat without actually going down in a fight which is what he should have done. He even ignored the special counsel of the blades to which led to there complete defeat and because of this, the Penitus Occulatus now are the special guards of the king where as there's literally only 2-3 blades remaining. This is probably the main reason why Amaund Motierre wanted the assassination of the king in the darkbrotherhood questline.

Also to what i meant by tamriel, the thalmor treaty was to outlaw the worship of talos BUT that shouldn't have extended past tamriel. Which means they have no right or jurisdiction to go to hammerfell, skyrim...etc and demand people to stop worshiping talos. It's complete lunacy that they think they can do this stuff, and like Dovahsebrom stated there's nothing in the treaty that suggest they are supposed enforce this on everyone.
