And Dunmers would forget all of their conflicts with Argonians only for a chance of beating their yellow-faced kin. The situation in Tamriel will result in Summerset fighting against everybody. Hey, and let's not forget the Nords. They'd go to war with the Thalmor, with or without any allies. The way I visualize it is the Bosmer and Khajit ultimately tiring of Altmer oppression and breaking off, and the Thalmor still being arrogant enough to think they can conquer Tamriel, with the result that they get torn to pieces by everyone else. Bear in mind, the modern Thalmor are nothing like Queen Ayrenne's Dominion. They are high elf supremacists who would like nothing better than to enslave all other races, including the other elves. I actually go through scenarios in my head on occasion that involve the Thalmor going "Alright, we're gonna win, we don't need the Bosmer any more" and trying to wipe out the wood elves of burn down Valenwood or something, provoking the rest of Tamriel. The Thalmor will never conquer Black Marsh. They will try, they will fail, and they will bring about their own destruction.
