I'll ask you and the other guy something: why is it that the empire or specifically Titus Mede II caved in on a treaty that doesn't benefit them? You say it's to need as many soldiers as possible but the problem is even if it does help the empire get more warriors and regain strength so does the aldmeri dominion/thalmor. So in essence it did absolutely nothing for the empire it was a bluffing by the thalmor + fear of prolonged war that made titus caved in but in reality thalmor are push overs. Look at Hammerfell, they pushed out the thalmor and BEAT them. If Hammerfell can kick out the thalmor so easily then surely the empire with all there might could have or rather should have too. But as usual the fear factor and the whole bluffing that the thalmor are great at doing convinced the WGC to be signed. It didn't benefit the empire no matter what you may want to believe, which tbh I used to think that way too until I was told otherwise. All in all this just made the empire look weak and after the great war the imperials are nothing compared like they used to be 200 years ago during oblivion. They were feared and control all of tamriel, now their power and numbers are a far cry all because of the thalmor influenced to remove the worshiping of talos, the one who conquered tamriel and build the laws( I think) around it. This is why Ulfric Stormcloak attacked the High King of skyrim in a fair duel, beat him and caused Tullius to try to kill him and ultimately started the civil war, alduin appearing, dragonborn appearing and amongst all the chaos who's laughing and enjoying themselves? Yep Thalmor. They have both the SC and Imperials at the palm of their hands enjoying the carnage and slaughting of both sides hoping for both to either kill themselves or be weakned enough so AD strength is strong enough to kill both factions. I mean SC and Imperials are not thriving on money or resources. Both are handicapped.

Anyway i don't agree with the thalmor killing every man and woman in the world just so they can return to immortality status or whatever bull they want to spew out of their mouths.
