In addition, once more actually looking realistically at the situation, an independent Skyrim would obviously fare worse against the Aldmeri Dominion, particularly considering that they would still likely be divided between allegiances and would have been shattered by the Civil War. Civil wars tend not to be inconsequential events, they usually take a great toll amongst the nation, and now the nation would bereft of the support of the Legions. I do disagree with this part of your argument however. As Hammerfell had a civil war and still defeated the Dominion. I believe Skyrim could fair just as well.
