Oh yay, the Snow Elves theory again. Allow me to prove it wrong as I always do when you Stormcloak fanboys raise it. The Snow Elves were one race, from a small area of Skyrim. The Thalmor have three races from three large provinces. To compare the two is like comparing Jamaica to the United States. First theory, disproved.

Second theory: if your theory of them not having a numerical advantage with humans is right, explain the first Great War, when they did outnumber the Empire? Second theory, disproved.

Anyone who knows the tiniest thing about military will tell you teaming up against a common foe is the SMART thing to do. Standing alone, outnumbered, against superior foe is the DUMB thing to do.
