Quite simple what happened between the Snow elves and Dwemer actually.

Nords were killing elves because they can, Snow elves ask Dwemer for help. Troll dwemer say you can hide with us if we can blind you. All snow elves are blind and made slaves. Dwemer disappear. Blind, slave race can't support themselves. De-evolution.

Somewhere between there and now they made friendlies with a race of giant murderous insects too.
