The Argonians conquered what was left of morrowind with ease, the dunmer were fleeing to skyrim and solstheim, elseweyre is just a client state of the aldmeri dominion so they defended themselves plus the empire was trying to recuperate from the great war. The empire would have been retarted to launch an attack on valenwod much less summerset isles. The thalmor most likely draged the war out with hammerfell puposefully ii mean just look at it, hammerfell being abandoned skyrim civil war deadbeat cyrodil and elseweyr becoming a client state don't u think there are too many "coincidences" that are in the thalmor's favor.
