I used to join the Stormcloaks everytime but i didnt like Ulfric much but then i found a reason to join the empire after diplomatic immunity quest i think it was when i read the thalmor journal on Ulfric that mentions that they pretty much brainwashed him into thinking that a rebellion was necassary and in doing so they will weaken both skyrim and the empire for true conquest, plus when you complete the civil war with the empire general tullius hints at a possible attempt to push the thalmor back again once the empire is ready which if you helped them then considering you can be pretty much a one man army then you have significantly helped them in getting ready
