I think in one of the in-game books, it talks about the AD inciting an argonian rebellion against the empire since it is virtually impossible to invade Blackmarsh (even Tiber Septim had to use the Numidium, and he was still worried that he might lose), but they failed to keep them in their control like they wanted and lost contact. I'm not sure, but I think at this point Morrowind is independent since they were still mad about the empire not helping them in the Oblivion Crisis, and it talks about the Argonians starving and not being able to sustain themselves without help from the Empire, so that could explain why they invaded Morrowind, so they could get more farmland and become self-sustaining. Also, I don't know how much you know about WWII history, but before the war started, the Germans had captured Vladimir Lenin back in WWI and sent him back to Russia to try to get them on their side, but when they decided to invade the U.S.S.R., he became one of their biggest enemies and was one of the main figures responsible for the Nazi's downfall. The parallels of the AD and the Nazis are pretty obvious, but maybe the Argonians could later be a stronger parallel to the Soviets and lead to further conflicts in TES VI snd VII?
