When you attack someone you're preparing yourself for that. Also, back then it was just a way to make sure your enemy didn't regroup 5 years later.

Again, it was referenced that Nords, Imperials, and Redguards were in the Imperial Legion. It was never referenced that the Bosmer or Khajiit were in it. That would be something hard to miss don't you think?

I bet they would've thought about it at first, instead of just automatically succeeding.

But most other races they had contact with attacked them. So they are cautious. They can't cherry pick which races they instantly trust and don't.
