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. Cherry pick? lol so you mean to tell me the Dominion didn't beat the emprie and take their city while also engaging Hammerfall? thats all made up...talk about delusional.

The EMperor wouldn't have given everything to the elves if he had a large chance at winning as you so wrongly think he did. Again if the Dominion had no reserves then there would be NOTHING stopping a Hammerfall/Imperial Alliance from taking the fight to them and ending them, stop making stuff up and siding with the Empire for the sake of siding with the empire and look at things with no bias. Dominion got their way because they had enough strength in reserve to force the EMperor's hand. saying "yeah well, they are lying they are not that strong" is simply Imperial Propaganda, Just like Thalmor have their own propaganda in books such as the Talos Mistake. From a military perspective you don't get your way with a treaty without having the upperhand, lies are not going to save you and have you get your way

and "as powerful as black marsh?" lol they are not that strong in fact the only reason they pushed back the Daedra is because they had the ENTIRE population whipped into a frenzy, not because they had a great powerful army, thats like the entire population of china getting AK's and fighting.... imagine if they tried to go up against the main Daedric army in Cyrodil lead by Dagon himself, they would be slaughtered. in fact im willing to bet they sustained heavy casulties considering they are not all warriors and had women, farmers, children, laberors, traders too, soooo much canon fodder and eventually numbers would not matter if the Daedra succeeded in ES4, because they would have turned their full forces against Black Marsh
