The White-Gold Concordat was certainly not necessary.

The tide of the war had changed, the entire Aldmeri Army within Cyrodiil had been driven back. This is not a time where you give into the demands of your enemy.

The White-Gold Concordat was not a white-peace it was a surrender, they gave into the demands the Thalmor had intially created at the beginning of the war. If the empire was just going to surrender anywase why even lead a counter attack.
