During the great war the Thalmor lost 1/3 of their army to the Redguards when they tried to invade Hammerfell. The Thalmor had to retreet because they were pwned big time, and understood that there was no way they could take over Hammerfell, so they cried all the way back to Summerset Isles.

My point is that the Redguards could probably kick every Thalmor ass out of Tamriel, if they really wanted to do so.
