Skyrim may well make an Alliance with Hammerfell, possibly even High Rock. After the above happens, they may even defeat the Thalmor, eventually. Who knows, there may be rebellion in a Dominion province, or Morrowind or Black Marsh may join them. Unlikely, since Morrowind will likely be sour towards Ulfric, and is too weak to help anyway. Black Marsh may, but I doubt it. In the unlikely event that the Thalmor lose, or a stalemate is reached, what then? The Thalmor are stalled again, and Tamriel has once again been ravaged by war. These new countries, just getting on their feet, are shaken to the core and the Thalmor likely hold much of Cyrodiil. The catastrophic loss of life in both the years of Thalmor reign and the war is the price to be paid, it seems. More likely is that the Thalmor win, and then fall apart from the size of their Empire, with even more loss of life and many years of subjugation. But it's OK, because "at least he's got a spine".

:P Like Blademaster Jauffre said Skyrim stole lands from Hammerfell, there's no way they're going to join forces even if both hate the Dominion. High Rock is an imperial province and just because Ulfric is trying to get the Breton's support doesn't mean they're mad at the Empire enough to leave. Morrowind won't stir, likely because the Dominion is far from their borders. Hell, the Dark Elves might even HELP the Dominion to get back at humanity for abandoning them during the Oblivion Crisis, but more likely they'll be neutral to the human/Dominion conflict unless attacked directly. The Argonians never fought against the Dominion and never will, unless they're attacked directly. The only people they've attacked in millenia were the Dark Elves, and that was for revenge for centuries of slavery.
