Quote from the ES Wiki: "Though many were angered against the Empire for signing the treaty, it can be argued that if the treaty wasn't signed and the war continued, the Aldmeri Dominion would have destroyed the Empire."

And that was the case when the Empire and the Stormcloaks didn't weaken themselves and the Empire had the full support of Hammerfell, what isn't the case now. Did you miss the "it CAN be argued..." bit?

I read that as "it can be wrongly argued...", but that is a personal preference of mine.

Regardless, it still says that it can be argued that, not that it is in anyway connected to reality. Yeah, that's true, but you can never be certain of the outcome of a war.

So as I see it, the win of the Dominion would be very likely.

I think "The Second War with the Empire" will begin shortly after the Civil War in Skyrim, so we'll know who's stronger.

I'm really excited to find out what really happens, hopefully when TES VI releases or in some trailer of it :D Well I think there will be very few in formation about this war if Ulfric fails, but if he succeeds, I'm sure there will be a in-game lore book with a title like Life of Ulfric Stormcloak or The Stormcloak Rebellion.
