The Empire is recovering after the great war, they also signed a peace treaty because they were going to lose the war.

It is better for the Thalmor that the Stormcloaks win because both the Empire and Skyrim would be weaker.

O Most of the terms of the White-Gold Concordat was to weaken the empire, banning talos would cause problems with skyrim and hammerfel would have to lose a big part of its territory.

That treaty was an outrage...plain and simple. They basically agreed to all the Aldmeri demands made before the war...wtf was even the point of fighting if you're not even going to barter at all. A street drunk could've gotten a better deal out of the dominion with the position the empire was in.
