Hammerfell forced the Empire to abandon it by continuing the fight. Hammerfell is a hero for continuing the fight but paid a heavy pice for it. Risking the safety of the Empire including Skyrim is not the answer. FYI besides death I don't see much damage from the Great War in Skyrim. Cyradiil and Hammerfell received the worst during the Great War. Hammerfell was weakend further because of their choice to continue the fight.
