Hello, i have infact changed my mind, yesturday i was just tired and didn't feel like debating anymore. That was then this is now so lets continue.

Yes Ulfric isn't Wallace, i did say like though. Major diferences are apparent, it was just the easiest anology i could think of.

On the whole rebuilding thing lets stop to think for a bit. Its been 25 years since the Great War, a new generation of soldiers has grown up and is ready to fight, the Empire is pretty much at full strenth number whise, if they wanted to declare war on the Dominion then Ulfric's rebelion could have been avoided, they would ask him to stop and say "Lets focus on killing those damn elves first, we'll deal with this later". They didn't do that because they don't want another war with the Dominion, the Empire is afraid of them ( they will never attack first ). While they try to stop another war from happening (impossible as the Dominion WANTS another war) the Thalmor agents do whatever they can to cause as much damage to the Empire, so the longer they wait the weaker they become, until the Dominion invades and kicks their a**.

After the signing of the White-Gold Condordat the Empire knew the Redguards wouldn't give land to the Dominion, non of the Redguards wanted to surrender so all disided to leave the Empire (the Empire knew this would happen, but couldn't stop it as they were super weak,because of the Great War that just had finished). It was a peaceful Independence as the Empire did nothing to stop/resist. If Skyrim in it was a peaceful agreement  the Dominion wouldn't like that and threaten the Empire with invasion if the imperials didn't fight the nords (as their combined numers were larger than the Dominion's).
