So, yeah you did leave out some importnt historical details which have already been addressed. But, the idea of the provinces representing factions during WWII is very interesting. It definfinitely has some validity, however I highly doubt Bethesda is going to model each province after a combatant during the second world war. The over-arching events leading to the war between the thalmor and the empire and the events during the war and "stalemate" probably were drawn from actual historical context.?

I don't mean to be bitch about it, but it is pretty unlikely the story will continue the show historic metaphors. Especially if Bethesda is going to add more lore to the games, such as other nations like Akavir. They could certainly represent the "america" being talked about, but they obviously wouldn't leave everything after the war is over. They would most likely enslave the Tamrielic races and then continue to fight amounst themelves like on their home continent.
