The AD stayed but they only hold Summerset Isles and Valenwood, the khajiit left the Dominion, possibly because of their grudge with the bosmer. Their existance however doesn't mean they won, as they only hold two provinces, why didn't they try to conquer the other provinces, Cyrodill for example was a collection of small kingdoms. I think that after the war the khajiit and the bosmer started to fight each other then the khajiit left as the altmer backed the bosmer, the war was probably devistating to the AD (much like how the Great War was devistating to the 2nd AD) making their number small, as khajiit breed and grow faster they probably became the bulk of the AD's forces after the war but now they left. As the years went by the races number started to grow and return to normal, but because the AD is now all Mer and elves grow/breed slower than their number would be smaller than the other races(not counting the dunmer/orcs), so they chose to mind their own business and didn't try to expand after the war.
