User blog comment:Sgt. S.S./Why I support the Empire/@comment-4715168-20120401183805/@comment-80.216.209.58-20120403203745

The thalmor could not have pressed on, the evidence is that they accepted the WG concord in the first place, and of course that they could not even keep Hammerfell.

Please tell me how the AD could have taken all the mede Empire, when they couldn't even hold Hammerfell alone.

Truth is, none of the parties at the end of the Great War could have managed more than show strikes against eachother anyway.

The most annoying thing here is that the civil war was avoidable, all that was needed was for titus II to drop all claim on Skyrim, because if they where not part of the mede empire then the Concordat would not apply to Skyrim, and that exact thing is what happened with Hammerfell, he dropped claims on ALL of Hammerfell when they didn't want to give away pieces of their land so that they were no longer bound by the Concord.
