I don't know much about the Hammerfell side of things, but what I do know is that there are still Imperial Soldiers shellshocked by the battle of the Imperial City. Go into the Ratways, you'll see them. The Aldmeri Dominion/Elven Army aren't just Altmer it also includes some Bosmer, and so with 2 provinces united, over the current state of the Imperial side, with troops and platoons scattered and fighting their own brothers and sisters. I'm no fan of the Aldmeri Dominion/Elven Army, just saying that the Stormcloaks are getting in the way of the greater fight that will decide the fate of all of Tamriel. The Emperor made a bad decision, but it was necessary, over total destruction. Talos ascended to godship, he earned it, I'm sure he would understand a temporary sacrifice over utter annihalation of his Empire. And yes, the AD/Elves were in poor shape as well, but more likely to recover, with them not trying to stamp out a rebellion and all...
