That's a very one-sided way of looking at the how everything played out. If you did more research of opposing opinions you would see that the Thalmor lost everything at the end of a war. Read The Great War (It's an in-game book). It was the largest army in Elven history and all of it was destroyed, unless the Thalmor can make Elves off of Convayor Belts in factories they wouldn't possibly have enough soldiers to fit on the Summerset Isles, they couldn't have had it. Not to mention not everyone in the Summerset Isles supports them. Don't deny lore just because it proves your argument wrong please.

All they would've had to do is go into the Isles and take out the Dominion's leaders. Without an army to stop them, it would've barely coast them anything. So that point is moot.

Defeated by Talos's military? No. Morrowind was one of the few nations that actually managed to resist Talos and only joined because the Empire made special exceptions on their behalf.

Did the farmers specifically explain that they've only farmed for their whole life and have no military of fighting experience what so ever? If so, I wasen't aware. If not, then what's you're saying is completely wrong. That's the point, most people get rejected because they're selective with who can join. If they took everyone they would easily outnumber the Fourth Legion (The Legion that's in Skyrim and is also considered very large for a Legion).

Exactly. That's why if the Empire keeps doing what they say, Nirn will be destroyed.
