If Mehrunes Dagon led the charge and took care of the rest of the provinces first, he would have utterly crushed the Argonians, no question there, they were sent into a bloodlust by the Hist but its impossible that they could keep... The Bosmer and the Khajiit don't fight for the Dominion, so that is wrong, second of all you've leaving out how the Empire and Hammerfell (as well as Skyrim and High Rock) retaliated and nearly wiped out all of their armies, causing them to a stand-still which they are still weakened by to this day. That is why they need the Empire to do their bidding for them, because without that the Dominion is just small army and snooty elves. You're also forgetting Hammerfell single-handedly held them off. Case closed. lol Your statements are compltely biased calling them "snooty elves" all the time lol.

Also,  Your history is wrong, yes they do have Khajiit and Wood Elves, if not then those "stuck up elves" are much more formidable for it by being a small Island nation and taking on both the Empire AND Hammerfall. They also had to have a large force in reserve otherwise if they were beaten to nothing than they wouldn;t have forced all the terms for the WHite-Gold treaty lol. and yeah Hammerfall beat them...again as they waged a two sided war against both nations lol, thats like calling German SOldiers "pussys" in WW1 for holding both fronts, when in fact, it makes them much hardier troops. I'm afraid not, friend. The Bosmer and Khajiit do not fight for them, they are always called referred to as "Elves" in the Great War book. Those two races are simply treated as cattle to the Dominion, as shown in the Thalmor Embassy.

As per your logic that the White-Gold Concordat is only being upheld by the Empire is false, with little evidence to support it, I recommend reading that book The Great War to see more about the Dominion's losses in the war by the same name, quite interesting. Did you ever wonder why the Empire received criticism for it's signing of the White-Gold Concordat? Was it because the Critics of the Empire wanted the Thalmor to destroy them all (unlikely). Or maybe is it because they were so close to a victory until the Emperor foolishly backed out and gave into everything the Elves wanted, simply for peace! Can you call what's currently going on in the Empire, with the Dominion's oppression "peace"?

The Dominion would not be able to take Black Marsh, the outskirts maybe. But the inner-swamps are unbeatable, as I've explained not even Tiber Septim the conqueror of Tamriel or the freaking Daedric Forces could do it. Please cast aside your cherry-picking and realize the Dominion's is not actually all that powerful at all. Certainly not enough to take on something as powerful as the Black Marsh.
