I'll tell you who owns the Reach, and the rest of Cyrodiil. These guys.

And of course, the Rechmen had to fight the Nords residing in Markarth if they wanted to reclaim it. Even Tiber Septim killed all the Native Bretons when he united all of Tamriel. The Nords gotta expect some form of payback in return. The Natives won't negotiate with the Nords that killed them off in the past.
